This explains a lot in a short, concise video. Probably not something youtube will ever let on their politically biased site.

When was the executive branch EVER in charge of spending...DO TELL!!It figures you ignore my questions, to toss me a red herring.

The Pesident signs spending bills. The spending doesn't occur otherwise. Before you post it, yeah, the President doesn't have to sign, but it will automatically become law if he doesn't veto.

But I reject your ''liberal'' spending bill thesis. Even Reagan abandoned any pretense of fiscal control by 1986, and no President has given 2 shits about deficits since.
answer honestly or don't answer at all

And by the way, the only President since then, who got a balanced budget (and did it twice) was..
Never mind. I don't want to embarrass you by posting his name. You know who, though. Hint: Democrat, semen-stained dress

You make shit up. I voted for Trump and Romney. I said every God Damn President, including Carter and Obama didn't care about deficits. Of course Obama's deficits were necessary to rescue the economy, that was destroyed under Bush
what did Reagan get out of it? the total collapse of the USSR without firing a shot.
all Bill Clinton got was a bj and flat spending for a few years. Originally Posted by The_Waco_Kid

Bill Clinton lit the fuse on the mortgage collapse when under his tenure as prez HUD demanded more minority lending from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (who thinks up these stupid names??) so when it came time to "bail out" lenders the Gov was really just bailing it's own ass out.
Newt didn't do shit. His own party ran his fat ass out of Congress, after an embarrassing rout in 1998. Spending was still high. The budget balanced because of enormous capital gains taxes, collected due to huge Market gains. Thanks, Bill Originally Posted by Chung Tran
