Don't fight fire with fire.

This is how politics has been done for ages.

Alot of things have been done for ages. And we learn from our mistakes and at least try to change. What a poor excuse. Only about everyone always points the finger to the other person saying they start it but maybe its actually you. Nothing will change in our world if you continue this attitude "They do it as well so its ok if I do it:" because honestly you're no better than any other person.

If someone is metaphorically shooting at you, you metaphorically shoot back, so there are in fact plenty of situations where you fight fire with fire.

What does any of that have to do with the simple fact that only one party has ever threatened to make the US default on its obligations as a way to get things that is simply has no way of obtaining through the existing constitutional system of governance of this country?

False equivalence of the worst sort.

For starters they can limit the amount of tax deductions a person can get to 75,000 anything more is a ridiculous number. They can get rid of tax credits for those who own a private jet. They can charge the same tax rate to those making money off the stock market as those making moneyfrom a pay check. They can stop giving tax credits to oil companies who are already making insane profits.

For spending they can reduce defense spending significantly since we're ending the war on terror and withdrawing lots of troops. We can also reduce spending on extra unnecessary programs.

I'd also get rid of bush' tax cuts for the wealthy.

That'd what I do for starters in addition to what the other poster said. It may not be super easy but there are a lot of obvious ways to start cutting back on.

#PHUKKtheRETARDLICANTS.I did not vote for a single one this election.Take the Toilet Paper movement away too.

Of course there are exceptions but since you're arguing against me I think you're fine with talking trash back to Republicans? The cycle will never end and its quite hypocritical of you when we complain about what they do when we do the same thing. Honestly -_- It's quite annoying to see people say "OH THE REPUBLICANS DO THIS THOUGH" but the Democrats often do the same thing. Not in this moment but it has happened and if you disagree than you are just blinded by your bias.

Who gives an F about "trash talking"? I don't. Let them insult us all they want, and we can happily insult them back. What I object too is holding the full faith and credit of the US Government hostage, and that is something only Republicans have done and threaten to do again.

You're right about how they are handling the US, but I am just pointing out that the Democrats are not perfect either. Not arguing against you I was simply responding to the person saying "We should blame only the few individuals", which then branched off into this topic .-.
