Quote from: Smit on March 14, 2025, 07:57 AMDamn Beej, you want to talk about everything and anything besides if you're ok with your republican congress abdicating their responsibilities.  :fish:

I think I'll start a new thread titled "anything and everything besides repug congresspersons." You will likely be the leading poster in that thread, AND you'll be on topic!  :whistle:

I thought that is what we are talking about. I guess just to clarify, I hate that a republican controlled congress would hand over their authority to a president. Clear enough? I hated it when democrat controlled congress handed over their authority to Roosevelt and Obama as well.

You could ignore the Times article. If you watch any news at all you can see that it's happening. Whether or not you or anyone else cares on the other hand.

If we start to argue that everything that Trump is doing, the left has, at some point, been guilty of, Trump is definitely winning the competition in that respect. It's everything anyone from either side has complained about government on steroids.
I'll go back to being a conservative, when conservatives go back to being conservative.

steroids can be great for healing, terrible for long term use.

Trump is reducing the Federal Government.

Biden ??

86,000 IRS agents???

That is Government on Steroids. ::)

If you want to talk about steroids, look at the federal debt.

When reagan was president, he was complaining about the federal debt. It was twice as much as the federal government made in a year.

Right now our federal debt is 7 times what the government brings in, in a year, and we are barely making the interest payments on it, not paying down the principal.

Multiply your yearly salary times 7 do you owe that much? if you did what would you do?

Let's just let Trump be President and run things. We did that with Biden. Well not Biden technically, but whoever was in charge day to day.

A good topic, and an excellent way to avoid the original topic. :whistle:

I started a new thread for that one! :cheers:

What have I avoided, exactly? I do not know how I could have agreed with you more explicitly than I did.

You did indeed, in your way. Thank you. :cheers:

I just thought the topic you brought up was worthy of a thread of its own, and this thread could be pondered by my Republican brothers, if they had a mind to ponder.  :whistle:
