Congress controls the purse.
And Trump held veto power… but here we are. This isn’t an argument this is simple facts. I’m not saying he did anything wrong, he just didn’t watch the pennys
And it's in the Constitution that both houses can override the veto.
Name one single time his veto was overridden?
Veto power can be beaten.
Also, a good chunk of that money went into infrastructure that was cut instantly upon Biden breaking into the White House.
Cough, Pipeline for example.
Sometimes debt is an investment, like into a wall to prevent or deter invaders, or into energy infrastructure for lower risk of tragedy, or Ukraine for the big man's pockets, or internet infrastructure to improve communication speed and efficiency or oil infrastructure to keep us generating more money in the long run and cut down on our reliance on hostile nations.
What I mean is, not all debt is bad -- sometimes you take on additional debt to reduce costs elsewhere in the long run or improve efficiency and incoming finances.
That said, a lot of that is controlled by Congress and they refused to play ball if he didn't play it back. Not making excuses for him, I'm pissed too. But we definitely see the difference between 4 years of a patriot with resistance from evil, and 4 years of evil with no resistance at all.
Veto power can be beaten, but he never even tried. As far as the debt argument, You are right that it can be good but in our scenario it largely wasn’t. It still largely helped the top 10+% and left the middle class high and dry just like the democrats. It was great I had 50 dollars more In my paycheck, but that doesn’t make the mortgage easier to pay and didn’t reduce our debt to strengthen our ability to self isolate from the global economy.
You're correct. He let himself be held hostage a good fair bit on the things he wanted. I get that he wanted to negotiate fairly but when they are stacking these funding bills with trillions in cumulative dollars for their pet projects, that's not negotiating fairly
