    Default respond to any cost saving by the left is “nooooo”. This makes them highly irresponsible. Glad they are not in charge anymore in the US.

    Now change the EU. We’re still f#cked.

      The budget Deficit has increased under Republicans and decreased under Democrats consistently for decades.

      How you can still think Republicans save you money is beyond insane. No child left behind really did a number on the populace.

          Is like to point out that most of Obama’s increase in budget was pushed through under Bush (because budgets are passed the prior year). And he brought it down from that starting point over his two terms. Trump immediately jacked it back up from what he inherited, and Biden decreased it again.

            You can make excuses for every president it’s always the guy before them, but the numbers don’t show a decline in deficit for Democrat presidents.

              Oh yeah, the party of fiscal responsibility who is now trying to pass a progressive 4,5 billions tax cut for the wealthiest part of society. Who knows when these missing funds for the government will show up in its administrative books???

              You must be so wise in the way of the finances, please (not) teach us master

                You should probably go back and check your facts. I don’t see anything about a proposed 4.5 billion progressive tax cut.
