But knowing one or the other are the only two choices of the moment, to argue they are equally bad makes no sense whatsoever. It is like knowing the flood waters are rising. You can sandbag and only lose your basement or do nothing and lose the entire house. It would be irresponsible to say "well, a loss is a loss so we should do nothing because losing the basement is the same as losing the house."

Discretionary vs nondiscretionary spending...... - Spanky KU - 4/27 15:32:32

Most discretonary spending is military - JG MU

- 4/27 17:51:38

military spending is 17% of the federal budget(nm) - Spanky KU - 4/27 18:13:07

lol at you (nm) - 90Tiger STL - 4/27 17:23:01

Not factual, but believe what you want(nm) - Spanky KU - 4/27 15:20:14

did you forget last year’s $6T “stimulus”? (nm) - pickle MU

- 4/27 15:21:01

Last year was one year. Meat was not making his factless - Spanky KU - 4/27 15:29:43

Well...The GOP controlled the process - meatiger MU - 4/27 15:33:19

False. The Budget starts in the House(nm) - Spanky KU - 4/27 15:59:09

And it ends with the President - meatiger MU - 4/27 16:50:11

So everything rests with the President in your Constitution? - Spanky KU - 4/27 16:55:42

not everything - meatiger MU - 4/27 17:04:50

so everything the legislative branch does is an executive - Spanky KU - 4/27 17:07:16

where did I say "only" - meatiger MU - 4/27 17:09:41

Because US law requires a budget request from the Executive - Spanky KU - 4/27 17:53:52

They did? Where do spending bills originate?(nm) - tman MU - 4/27 15:36:52

Did the Senate pass it? - meatiger MU - 4/27 15:37:39

Didn't control the process. They were part of it - tman MU - 4/27 15:40:11

they were 2/3 of the process - meatiger MU - 4/27 15:42:44

False - Spanky KU - 4/27 16:00:08

Correct. Given the method of passage(nm) - tman MU - 4/27 17:22:51

Again, the seeds for this have been sown by both parties - ummmm MU - 4/27 15:02:48

And that is a true shame - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 4/27 15:09:02

I prefer faster decay - ashtray UF - 4/27 15:37:52

What is your measurement of rate of decay? - meatiger MU - 4/27 15:12:31

We will see - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 4/27 15:14:21

Given the spending in the first 100 days alone I would say - meatiger MU - 4/27 15:15:41

At the current pace Biden will dwarf Trump - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 4/27 15:16:38

Trump spent 6+ trillion beyond the budget - meatiger MU - 4/27 15:17:32

lol "in his last year" "based on the first 100 days" - Ragnar Danneskjold MU

- 4/27 15:19:39

You don't read very well meat - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 4/27 15:18:23

My post was not about the first 100 days - meatiger MU - 4/27 15:20:33

You were responding to my post that was about the - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 4/27 15:21:34

My post was about the deficit and GOP spending - meatiger MU - 4/27 15:24:23

Here is where it started meat - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 4/27 15:25:44

Or prefer neither? (nm) - ummmm MU - 4/27 15:09:45

Preferring neither is fine - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 4/27 15:12:27

or you can sandbag and lose the entire house anyway (nm) - ashtray UF - 4/27 15:40:25

those aren’t the only two choices (nm) - pickle MU

- 4/27 15:14:19

They are at this point(nm) - tman MU - 4/27 15:34:11

Doesn't losing your basement - meatiger MU - 4/27 15:13:55

whatever you have to do to convince yourself, i guess (nm) - pickle MU

- 4/27 14:59:32

Many in the no difference crowd think taxes are a scam. - Newcatbirdseat MU - 4/27 14:58:34

They start and end there. Meanwhile, the rest of us have to - MUTGR MU - 4/27 15:02:48

that’s a lazy “argument” (nm) - pickle MU

- 4/27 15:04:51
