@LeaderMcConnell and the majority of the @SenateGOP voted to suspend the debt ceiling on 8/1/2019. On that day, the US national debt was $22.023 trillion dollars. Donald Trump was President and Mitch McConnell was Senate Majority Leader.
Joe Biden became President and the Democrats took control of the Senate on 1/20/2021. On that day the National Debt was $27.752 trillion dollars.
The debt had risen by $5.729 trillion since McConnell and his Caucus voted to suspend the debt ceiling 538 days earlier.
The debt is now $28.429 trillion dollars - just below our debt ceiling. But 89.43% of the debt we incurred since the GOP cooperated with suspending the debt ceiling on 8/1.
/2019 was borrowed during the time when Donald Trump was POTUS and @LeaderMcConnell controlled the Senate.
Last Sunday Morning, I saw a GOP Senator go on TV and defend his decision to not suspend the #DebtCeiling. When he was asked why debt bothers him now but didn't bother him when Trump was President, he mentioned that Trump brought "the best economy of my lifetime."
And so ...
I've pointed out many times that this "best economy" claim is not only false but nowhere near true and I've provided data to debunk it. But since it was raised in conjunction with a defense of not raising our debt limit to avoid a default, I got mad and started number crunching.
So this chart represents GDP growth per quarter - a key measure of the economy - for every quarter of every Presidential term since 1949, including Biden's term to date.
The thick green line is Trump. The thick blue line is Biden to date. All the other lines are everyone else.
The Congressional Progressive Caucus has a lot of members and has a lot of weight among the @HouseDemocrats. But they are not the reason @TheDemocrats hold the House majority.
Just like in Presidential Elections in which the only way a different party wins is when they take states away from the other party, the only way the House flips is when seats that are held by one party get won by the other party.
Nancy Pelosi is speaker because in 2018, Democrats won 43 seats that were formerly held by Republicans. Republicans won 3 seats that were formerly held by Democrats.
I’m a very imperfect but Bible believing Christian who believes in the rule of law and values faith and facts. Not into weird conspiracy theories. Never even thought about invading the US Capitol.
I need a break from seeing crazy people in the news identifying as Christians.
It’s way too frequent that I hear somebody promoting some severely insane theory about something bad about the COVID vaccine, how they think Trump won the election or they tried to do something extreme and then I hear them make reference to their supposed Christian faith. Stop!!!
Just once, can we have a story about somebody who invaded the Capitol or who went into a tirade about vaccines during a PTA meeting get interviewed by reporters and say “I celebrate Festivus” or something?
How much have COVID vaccines, which themselves have absolutely nothing to do with politics, become politicized? Here's how much.
Here are two tables that show the states in order of the percentage of their populations which are fully vaccinated along with how they voted in 2020.
On a scale from 0 to 100, where 0 means there is no relationship and 100 means they are totally related, the relationship between the percentage of a state's population that is fully vaccinated against COVID and the number of points by which Trump won or lost the state is a 78.
For a few examples, Vermont is the state with the highest vaccination rate (and, by the way, happens to have a Republican Governor). And it's the contest where Trump did second worst (only in DC did he lose by a greater margin).
You guys were in charge while the debt increased by almost EIGHT TRILLION DOLLARS in EXACTLY FOUR YEARS! And now you want to stop us from PAYING THE INTEREST on that debt!!!
Fiscal Responsibility my rear end!
Since the Senate Republicans want to go this route, let’s do some math, shall we:
The @SenateGOP took control of the US Senate on 1/3/2015. On that day, the National Debt was:
$18.081 trillion.
Trump was inaugurated 1/20/2017. On that day, the debt was:
$19.947 trillion.
