Section 4: President & Congress Subject: GOPs vs DEMs on Budget Msg# 1226993

Another problem is that presidents are presented with overall bills to sign which are composed of multiple individual bills combined into one. The president may not favor everything in the bill--including the spending--but the bill has been worked so that if the party wants certain legislation passed, they insert it into a bill likely to make it out of Congress and to the president's desk, where he essentially must hold his nose and sign it to get the major aspects of the bill into law. All presidents have had to do that. Then too, charts like the one shown, completely ignore the fraud, waste, and abuse committed by Congress (think Democrats). They are compiled to convince their parties, and "ignorant taxpayers" the other party is the one wasting money, not them. And leave it to the Democrats to use such lame tactics to try to prove that Republicans are the bad guys.
Yet we must ask ourselves what party was it that came up with so many of the ridiculous spending ideas like trans surgery for people in other countries, and things like that? |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: You should know that the sources for this information are not without bias. Politifact is left-leaning and the Congressional Budget Office is not the unbiased source it should be. I've heard a while ago that one of the reasons such sources produce biased results is because they don't use dynamic scoring in their estimates. This means that the kinds of strong growth that Trump produces is omitted. And Politifact is likely the worst, the most biased, of those two sources. |
