    The Democrats accomplished a balanced budget in the 90’s under Clinton. Can you guess what the next 8 years of Republican control did to that?

    Trump did not have this idea, he is repeating noises he once heard someone make. Once you assume Republicans operate like the fae in old stories, everything starts to make sense: Everything they do is designed to trick you so they can take advantage of you. Absolutely none of what a conservative does is unselfish; by definition they are driven to prevent any and all change, except what they seem acceptable. Agreeing with anything they propose, no matter how good it sounds, is a self-deprecating move.
