Despite Democrats having been in control of congress for two years, “Donald Trump” is still their go-to answer when questioned about why the economy continues to do poorly. Alexandria Osasio-Cortez was asked by a reporter about why the economy continues to not have the improvements it needs to make, and if she thinks the “Democrats have spent too much money?” Her answer was right on cue.
“Democrats have been in charge for the past two years; do you think Democrats have spent too much money?” the reporter asked.
“I think the largest contributor to the debt ceiling, to our deficit, has been the Trump tax cuts,” Ocasio-Cortez responded.
“Trump tax cuts” is just the modern version of blaming “Reaganomics.” While it’s easy to look at the one thing during a presidency that is disliked by the Democratic party, their endless passing of billions upon billions of dollars to support an endless war effort in Ukraine is money that is pouring out of our economy. “Trumped up trickle down economics” isn’t the issue, the issue is mass overspending by the government as a whole.
According to The Daily Wire:
Trump presided over federal budget deficits ranging between $665 billion and $984 billion ahead of the lockdown-induced recession, during which the deficit rose to $3.1 trillion in fiscal year 2020 as a result of stimulus measures such as the CARES Act, according to data from the Office of Management and Budget. Biden oversaw a $2.8 trillion deficit in fiscal year 2021, largely due to the passage of his American Rescue Plan. Though the commander-in-chief has repeatedly asserted that he has successfully reduced the budget deficit, the shortfall of $1.4 trillion in fiscal year 2022 significantly exceeds the deficits witnessed before the recession.
While Presidents tend to overspend at times, Ocasio-Cortez’s proposed bill, the “Green New Deal,” an environmentally friendly bill that was largely unknown in content and had no clearly defined action, somehow was projected to coat a whopping $51 to $93 trillion on the American taxpayer, all over the course of just one decade.
Despite only being President for two years, our national debt has grown by $3.8 trillion under President Biden, and much of this spending is due to unnecessary COVID-19 response packages now two years after the initial peak of the virus.
AOC continues to amaze me with what she doesn’t know about economics, which was her major at Boston University. Monetary inflation is pretty basic. Obviously, I don’t know if Boston U doesn’t teach these basics or AOC just didn’t learn anything and yet still graduated. Either way, that’s a problem.
We must remember her beginnings, education and factors that motivate her. She’s an incompetent ex-bartender pretending to represent entitlement collectors who believe her pretense. They don’t know they’ve already been fleeced. By the time they realize her flimflam, she’ll have moved on and they’ll start over — seeking employment from greatly reduced availability. They’ll probably never know she and her ilk simply reversed Trump’s gains.
Stupid c—t
WE would do a LOT better with an AOC cut . . . from Congress. Give her “walking papers” to the UNEMPLOYMENT line!
Hey AOC did you ever figure out how to run your garbage disposal?
Of course this Twat Waffle will try to blame Trump . Forget the fact that he has not been in office for two years and Joey Biden has been spending money like it grows in the White House Rose Garden . Truth be told , someone needs to take away Bidens pen and Checkbook as well as all the nations credit cards
Absolutely Obtuse Cortez is flapping her gums again!
How stupid can she be. Must have had her head in the sand when his tax cuts came through. That money helped encourage big business owners to invest in factories that helped lower unemployment. So some Republicans got richer but look at how many Democrats are getting richer under the Dem. admin. and unemployment is still going up. (Especially the “Big Guy” and his son!) But why bother … she’s plain stupid re. economics!
She sure is a loyal dumb DemoRat.
hmm
AOC is an idiot! It’s time Democrats took responsibility for the bad economy! This is on them and not Trump, give it up, Trump hasn’t been in office for 2 years, you can’t blame him for what you’ve done!!
ALL democrats are a stupid commie pedophile racist woke marxist socialist fascist cult club. and every time they open their pie hole they show their donkey hole.
AOC blaming the bad economy on Trump’s tax cuts is idiotic. Over taxing businesses leads to unemployment because businesses go where it is cheaper to operate. AOC has Trump Derangement Syndrome and will say anything against Trump or his policies.
In Democrat politics. a lack of education will carry you a long, long way.
The fact that aoc has been re-elected TWICE doesn’t reflect well on the voters in her district in New York. From Day 1 in office, joey lie-den crippled the energy industry in the USA, driving up the prices of EVERYTHING.
exactly
Maybe aoc is actually THINKING about something else.
We all agree THINKING isn’t aoc’s best thing she does.
She needs to think about an old saying. “It’s better to be thought a fool than to open your mouth and prove it.”
Why for Dems continue to vote for such incompetent people over and over? I have to assume cause they just can not find any competence or truth on that side of the fence.
Their Politically Correct hearts won’t permit them to vote against a black female no matter how incompetent, anti- American or ProCommunist. Political Correctness remains the language of Fools and Cowards.
Does this Girl take “Stupid pills” or does her Ignorance just come naturally?
She probably got her degree on her back.
You can’t fix stupid. The only reason the Biden economy is still limping along is due to the tax cuts. Otherwise we’d be in a full blown recession/depression by now.
AOC must have bought her degree from Boston College. She doesn’t know the first thing economics, which. does qualify her to be a dem. Obama knew nothing about the economy & all his clueless minions are in covid joe’s administration . We need a Republican to put America on the right track again. AOC should go back to bartending where all her senseless babbling doesn’t hurt anyone.
TDS is rampant!
looked up the word moron and all that was there was a picture of aoc.
