3. Deficit Hawks Beating The Drums For Republicans Are

deluding themselves and scamming the rest of us.

Three out of the last four Republicans deliberately ran up the national debt without making any sort of effort to balance the budget and reduce the debt (For the benefit of right-wing lurkers, that’s Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush, and Donald Trump). The last Republican who tried to reduce the deficit was George H.W. Bush and he was crucified by the Republican Party’s right flank.

Considering Republican behaviors when they control the Executive Branch of the Federal Government, there is NO reason why fiscally-conservative voters (I said Fiscally-conservative voters, NOT conservative voters. They’re not the same thing). should believe that Donald John Trump would work to be fiscally behavior. For you right-wing lurkers out there, I would point out what a fella does in the past is a good indicator of what he’d do in the present or future. That isn’t rocket science: that’s common sense.

I admit I’m a Democrat. I’m a thinking Democrat. I support Democrats and Democracy. If I can’t convince any of you right-wing lurkers out there to do what’s right for the USA, I hope I can at least persuade you to leave the presidential choice blank if you can’t bring yourself to vote Democratic.
