Progressive Democrats attempt to attack the only vestige of their party's financial responsibility

N At the beginning of a decade after the advent of the Tea Party movement and two years after the total republican control of the federal government, fiscal irresponsibility still threatens to ravage our economy and our national security. Our national deficit is still accelerating at a rate that is rapidly out of control. Our national debt is close to $ 180,000 per taxpayer and over $ 21 trillion in total. Over the next decade, our debt should be equal to our GDP and, over the next five years, the cost of interest on our national debt – which is about to cost as much as our Medicaid spending – will exceed our spending on defense.

Naturally, Progressive Democrats want to remove one of the last restrictions imposing the federal government's fiscal responsibility on the new rules governing the 116th Congress.

Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., Speaker of the House of Reference, wants to lift the restriction that expenditure increases be offset by spending cuts elsewhere, commonly known as "CUTGOs", and return to a weaker version. of the rule. Pelosi's favorite "PAYGO", which Democrats used in their last majority, demands that deficit-raising measures be accompanied by spending cuts or income increases (read: tax, tax, tax!).

The ethos of imposing and spending in oblivion at the head of the Democratic establishment should sufficiently terrify the masses, but now, the far left of the party has begun to launch a plague to make our deficit a fantastic country.

"I will vote NO on the set of rules with #PayGo", written Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., On Twitter. "It's a terrible economy." The Austeris were wrong about the Great Recession and the Great Depression. " (1965)

"PAYGO is not just a bad economy, as @RoKhanna explains," added Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Congressman and influential social media, added . . "It's also a dark political maneuver designed to impede progress in health + other leg [islation] .We should not be hindered from the start."

You mean we should not be trying to pay for things with money instead of your hopes and dreams? You mean we should just give free stuff until Santa Claus stops us from defaulting on our national debt? Do you mean that the rules are bad?

Between the failed announcement concerning Syria, the tweets, tariffs, market slumps and legal woes of Trump, which are relaxing, are the bad weeks for Republicans. Heck, if you consider the amount of unfulfilled promises of fiscal responsibility, spending cuts and deficit reduction, Republicans have had terrible years.

But you can always trust a Democrat with a pocket filled with taxpayers' money and a heart filled with big dreams of the government to remind you why you keep voting for the party a little less catastrophic.
