[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why isn’t Biden on TV trying to sell his side to the American public? Is it because we elected methuselah? [/quote]

Because he is really trying to negotiate a deal. Negotiating in the media is posturing, not negotiating. [/quote]

I guess I remember Clinton and Obama posturing all the time and coming out on top more times than not. Meanwhile, Biden is about to negotiate away his only legislative accomplishment [/quote]

Clinton did not posture while he was negotiating big deals with Lott and Gingrich in 1996. He let them pretend they won. Obama did not successfully negotiate anything significant with Republicans. [/quote]

Oh the GOP won. Clinton bent spending downwards, hurting Democrat chances in 2000 so that Bush won. Then of course spending exploded along with tax cuts.

Then Obama caved and reduced spending, electing Trump and Republicans. Only for Trump to cut taxes and jump up spending right away.

The GOP recognizes the Democrat Party benefits from a good economy and from spending to help people. So they force either an economic disaster or huge cuts to Democrat programs. Win-win.[/quote]
I missed those spending reductions.  I remember it was the first trillion dollar budget deficits. Obama went from saying it was unpatriotic to have so much debt to doubling the debt.[/quote]

It was the money spent in the wake of the 2008 finanical crisis that doubled the debt. Bush throw the grenade in on the way out the door. So sure, it happened when Obama was president, but he inherited it. No different than claiming that the shelves were empty during COVID so it was Biden's fault.
