Date: December 20th, 2020 10:17 AM Author: Titillating Bisexual Location like, i get that having a 'balanced budget' is on the list of desirable things you would want to have in a perfect world, but this was actually their lead-off issue for decades.
go back and watch old GOP primaries and these white shitkicker guys in Alabama are cheering like they are at a Britney Spears concert every time Fred Thompson or someone starts talking for 10 minutes about 'deficit spending' or whatever (which, btw, they did nothing to curtail, once in power).
it's surreal. the whole 'conservative' movement post-Reagan was such a farce. |

Our only chance was going all in behind Pat Buchanan and we blew it (over and over again) |
|
Date: December 20th, 2020 10:19 AM Author: Titillating Bisexual Location yeah, i mean it starts with Reagan in earnest. that was his whole schtick. there is a Vdare columnist who describes it as -- 'Beginning in the 1980s, the GOP became a party of accounting fetishists' |

They were certain the US economy was just a big version of their “checkbook” they “balanced” with a pen and calculator every month (and were convinced that little ritual was the root cause of their financial prosperity) |

Date: December 20th, 2020 1:40 PM Author: abusive jet-lagged stain rehab the point of OP is not the candidates, it's the actual voters on the ground. Do they still care about "balanced budgets"? not like they did in 1994 or whatever. they certainly don't get fired up about it (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4716882&forum_id=2#41584598) |

Date: December 20th, 2020 1:44 PM Author: Aromatic slap-happy death wish place of business This is something you do when you think what you have already is pretty much perfect and you want to hand it down to your grandchildren.
Trump's GOP is pretty much the panicked crew realizing the ship is sinking. You just try to plug the holes you can with as many rags and fingers you have available. |

Date: August 24th, 2022 9:50 AM Author: Glittery Dysfunction Exactly. Worrying about “balanced budgets” is the luxury of those who think the current system is flawed but salvageable. We’re way past that now. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4716882&forum_id=2#45062470) |

|
Date: October 17th, 2022 10:10 PM Author: Titillating Bisexual Location yeah, 'post-Reagan' = *with the advent of Reagan* (e.g. 'we are living in a post-covid world' means we are living in a world which was changed by the arrival of covid, etc.) |

Date: October 17th, 2022 10:18 PM Author: Titillating Bisexual Location the meaning was obvious, and was literally restated explicitly, seconds later, in the subpost directly below OP.
but 3 years later, this is still autistic catnip, as though OP could have **POSSIBLY** been arguing the point that Ronald FUCKING Reagan was unconcerned w/ 'balanced budgets'!!! |
