It did not entirely escape my notice that Cullion had nothing to say about Clinton's balanced budget compared to the Bush's.

Think irony
I already discussed Clinton vs Bush. The Clinton era was a fed-caused bubble that inevitably had to deflate. Remember Greenspan's comments about 'irrational exuberance'as he pumped stimulus into the system to fight the asian crisis?
Trump is going to have to deal with the same kind of deflatiin at some point; the aftermath of the 2008 bailouts

Trump and his band of crooks are setting us up for another heist using all the same failed tactics and policies.
Deregulation and putting America farther into debt by transferring more wealth to the top 1% has nothing to do with the bailouts, but cool story, bro.

Trump is what is colloquially known as a 'useful idiot'. His cronies are just running through the store in a RL game of Supermarket Sweep grabbing whatever goodies they can and overturning carts to block their political foes. Dems are too worried about getting votes and are promising that everyone gets to run through the store. It's a shit sandwich no matter how you look at it.

Look at the graph. It's a simple exponential growth curve. The same kind of shape produced by compounding interest. Do you really believe that your choice of whitehouse figurehead makes much difference one way or the other? If a democrat comes after Trump they'll look even worse. Not because they're a democrat, but because *this is just going to get worse*.
The policy changes needed to stop that happening are completely outside of the mainstream of 'allowed' opinion. Trump's tax cuts do not just return more money to the 1%.
