When did the U.S.of A. go bankrupt. There have been conservative caused depressions and large recessions before. Each time, government spending brought us out of it. Conservatives just hate paying for their spending.
Funny, they don’t mind costly wars and tax free rich people or corporations. God forbid we spend some of the tax money here, in this country, on our people.
Do you not understand how Government or the economy works Gary? You can’t spend decades lining the pockets of the 1%, ignoring infrastructure, and education without paying the price. The bill is overdue.
As perhaps everyone but Varvell knows, Biden is proposing to raise the marginal tax rate on those whose annual income is more than $400K. And close some of the more egregious loopholes. And he has the figures to show that this amount is sufficient to completely fund what he proposes to spend (ample if the “we hope it works this well” assumptions hold true).
But since it’s not money going directly to Varvel’s owners, he has to hate it. And lie about how it’s (gasp) spending without considering either of the balancing values: Spending to buy what? And, as mentioned above, spending matched by what income?
If we simply returned federal levels to those that existed under left wing socialists like Reagan or Eisenhower, there would be no spectre of bankruptcy.
Where was the Repulsican Crime Family’s outrage after THE ORANGE IDIOT gave all his buddies and campaign donors tax cuts? At least Biden is using the tax breaks to help get the American worker back to work and the economy back on track.
It is not just the 1% who owe the bill, it is every citizen. If you really believe the only ones who will take a big hit are the ultra-wealthy you have not been paying attention for the last fifty years or so.
The national debt rose by over $7 trillion during Trump’s years, but conservatives weren’t concerned about that… Biden proposes that economic gains after his spending will pay for at least part of his bill (the same argument that Republicans have used in the past), and he proposes to raise taxes on corporations and the rich to pay for part of his bill – Republicans ignore the “economy rising” part, and try to scare the middle class about taxes that they do not face…
I find it hilarious that all the liberal puke cartoonists seem to get nothing but praise in their comments while anyone with a differing opinion gets hate. But, that’s the Democratic party: bringing us together. The hypocrisy would be laughable if you liberal turds could actually see it, let alone acknowledge it.
Gary, you can criticize President Biden’s infrastructure plan if you think it doesn’t go far enough or, if you think it won’t help the right people or, if you think it will be ineffectual but, you have no standing to criticize the cost of the plan after you and the Republicans endeavored to drive our Country into bankruptcy for the past 40 years by lowering taxes on rich people, putting US further and further into debt.
If you are going to call yourself a political cartoonist you really should have at least a small idea how a national economy actually works.Maybe some cat videos would be more appropriate from this cartoonist.
Biden is bailing America out of the moral and ethical bankruptcy of Trumpism. It will take lots of money and will require multiple criminal convictions.

Or you could follow 45’s game book and all be dead by fall. I’m sure the Chinese will loan back some of the money the Yanks spend there

More mindless twaddle from the pea brain. The only thing that might approach bankruptcy would be some 1%-er. Our artist is already bankrupt.

Biden is totally willing to raise funds for his agenda; which is why McConnell is so against it.

Let’s face it Varvel, you are only mad because it wasn’t for more tax cuts for the 1%.
