This is short and to the point.

Most l*****ts are environmentalists. There is nothing wrong with that as such. Everyone wants a clean environment. The left thinks they are the only ones who believe we should make sustainability a hallmark of our natural world and the use of available resources.

So, how come they don't practice financial sustainability when it comes to taxes and the ever expanding size of government that requires more regulations and money to feed the beast?

If you don't understand the question you must be a socialist.

Explain how we're in the midst of a record breaking deficit spending spree, this after last years record deficit. Rhetoric may work on people too lazy to fact check, but not on those who can keep up.

Americas trade deficit is worse NOW, than it was before the opening salvo of the trade wars. How does that happen when tariffs are so effective?

Trying to blame the left, or anyone else for that matter, for the loss of Federal income and increased spending that has resulted in record breaking deficits, is a losing proposition. Touting Wall Street gains as proof of a vibrant and sustainable economy, is a circus act doomed to failure.

The short answer is that Bush had no plan to pay for the war in Iraq and Afghanistan after 9/11 happened. We were balancing the budget when he became President thanks to conservative Republicans. Another problem resulted from the Democrat-sponsored policies, the likes of Barney Frank, that eased loan requirements for homes. Another sustainability problem that is partially responsible for some of the homeless problem. Obama came in at the worse time possible. Instead of using free-market capitalism, we had "too-big-to-fail" and stimulus that was political capital for Democrats who supported Obama. The debt doubled in just eight years of Obama. The Tea Party is a small faction of the Republican Party. Unfortunately, the party is controlled by incumbent RINOs who ignores the greatest existential threat to our country's security, along with Democrats who never met a tax dollar they didn't like. They think the taxpayers are here to serve them, and we are an unlimited source of revenue for their pipe-dream utopian vision for America. Getting spending under control is an absolute necessity to maintain our liberty. Trump knows this and is doing what he can. His efforts are stymied at every turn he undertakes. For instance, controlling immigration and building a wall is only the first step to reining in the out-of-control spending, controlling immigration and all the services provided to them by reducing spending for free giveaways and care for I******s. Corporations and Republicans are just as much at fault for wanting the cheap labor migrants provide.
