Deficits add to the debt. Obama decreased the deficit five times during his eight years in office. Biden has cut the deficit twice already and looks to cut it even more. Trump only ever increased the deficit.
Obama most likely would have as well, had he not been handed the Bushruptcy.
Shrub and Donald both had the best economies for cutting deficits yet they only ever increased them. Obama and Biden were dealing with the wreckage their predecessors left behind and STILL managed to reduce deficits. Democrats are better administrators. Plain and simple.
It is why the Repug calumnies are so offensive in this regard. Talk about the equivalent of stolen valor.
I didn't make my post in reply to anything you posted in particular. I'm tired of hours on hold trying to resolve auto-generated IRS notices. I didn't charge for those that much in the past. Now I must.
Yes but the orange lips are a dead giveaway comradeOpinions and butt holes we all have them
Oh, so on one hand BLM protestors weren't held accountable, but on the other hand when they were that was DOJ harassment, good squads.

Doesn't matter. He will get all of his documents back after he tells the judge about precedents set when Judicial Watch vs NARA was ruled to have no merit, has no standing and was thrown out by a judge who could barely contain their laughter.How did trump declassify all the documents that the fbi planted there. I'm very confused
Oh horse shit, man.

It's warranted concern, the IRS literally had to pay damages for targeting audits bases on political affiliation.Oh horse shit, man.
The IRS was gutted right after Republicans took over in 2010. The cut and cut and cut the IRS budget to the point where the can't even answer phone calls for help with taxes. Their computer systems still run on COBAL. They can no longer pursue large corporations or wealthy tax cheats because they have neither the man power or lawyers to do so. Their ability to conduct audits has been cut to a fraction of what's needed to ensure compliance with tax laws.
We all know why Republicans did this. They are as corrupt as five day old road kill. It's all about paying less in taxes and the less the IRS is able to do, the easier it is to get away with dodgy schemes.
I know you won't listen to this but maybe others will, it's quite an eye opener assuming one doesn't close their eyes tightly shut. Your level of cynicism is sickening.
How the ultrawealthy devise ways to not pay their share of taxes
How the ultrawealthy devise ways to not pay their share of taxes
Journalist Jesse Eisinger says a trove of IRS data acquired by ProPublica shows that many of America's billionaires avoid paying any taxes — sometimes by claiming big deductions from posh hobbies.
DAVIES: A lot of Republicans have attacked this additional IRS funding, saying that they're really going after ordinary Americans and that it's going to be an intrusive attack. And I have to share quotes that were in The Washington Post from House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy. This is the Republican leader in the U.S. House of Representatives. He said, quote, "do you know what the IRS has? Four thousand six hundred guns, 5 million rounds of ammunition. Why? Democrats want to double its already massive size." He further adds, "with this new power, the IRS will snoop around in your bank account, your Venmo, your small business. They, the government, will shake you down for every last cent." And then he adds that in light of the FBI's search on, you know, President Trump's home in Mar-a-Lago, "do you really trust this administration's IRS to be fair, not to abuse their power?" This has really gotten some traction, particularly in conservative media. What do you make of all that?
EISINGER: Well, I mean, let's be frank. It's ridiculous. These claims are based on lies. They're lying that these IRS agents are going to be armed. A bare, small percentage of them will be for only the most egregious situations of tax evasion for drug dealers, you know, cartel owners, organized crime. And they're going to have more agents, but they're losing agents at a huge clip and you - losing employees at a huge clip, so they can't answer phones for people. So most of these new employees are going to be answering phones for average people and helping them get their questions answered so that they can pay taxes.
This is a campaign against the IRS to protect corporations and the wealthy because corporations and the wealthy have had it so good for the last few years and decades and been able to avoid taxes and their tax burden - the largest corporations and the wealthy, especially the ultrawealthy - has collapsed. They're not paying their fair share. And the Republicans are protecting those people by attacking the IRS. And it would be comical - these lies are so easily debunked - except that when they talk about the IRS wielding weapons and Chuck Grassley talked about agents having AK-15s - I think he meant AR-15s, which is ludicrous - what that's doing is putting civil servants, hardworking IRS people, at risk. And in fact, the commissioner of the IRS, just in the recent days, had to put a safety alert out and a safety assessment out for employees because of all the threats that IRS employees are experiencing.
