Your party has had full control of government for two years, and the only major legislation you've passed added trillions to the national debt. Trump has already added $4 trillion to the debt in under two years — with no pandemic, no recession, and no Biden in sight. Blaming Joe Biden for a deficit driven by GOP tax cuts, inflationary tariffs, and war spending isn't a fiscal policy. It's a dodge.
The math is not complicated. Supply-side tax cuts have never once paid for themselves — not under Reagan, not under Bush, not now. Meanwhile, the expanded child tax credit that actually helped working families got blocked by Republicans citing the very deficit they created. You cannot keep shoveling money to billionaires and then claim fiscal responsibility with a straight face.
Make the hard choices. Raise taxes on the wealthy and corporations. Let the tax cuts for the top expire. Stop pretending that cutting programs families depend on is courage while protecting oligarchs from paying their share is just good policy. Constituents are watching, and the excuses have run out.
