Hey BT Why did Biden allow so many illegals into the Country and how would you define that as being positive for the Country ? To replace you and your ilk, of course. Win, win. It's not like your a real American.

So instead of discussing Trump's policies now, all you got is a "but the left is worse". You just got through bitching about no one discussing Trump's policies and I discuss Trump's spending policies while cutting taxes and increasing the debt at record speed and you just want to whine about the left rather than discuss Trump's failure to reduce the debt as he promised. No you didn't . You just jumped on the raise the taxes bandwagon . If you want to discuss Trump's policies name something he spent money on that wasn't needed or already an entitlement/mandate that he had to follow. Just name an item you want to discuss without all the BS. Yes I did, you just want to ignore it. How about we discuss how his cabinet members took private jets or flew first class everywheres they went at government expense. They wasted millions of taxpayer dollars travelling in luxury during his first term.
After several Trump Administration senior officials including Secretaries Zinke, Mnuchin and Pruitt violated the Federal Travel Regulation by wasting exorbitant amounts of taxpayer dollars on inappropriate travel expenses like charter jets and first class airfare, U.S Senator Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) introduced legislation today to help ensure the Trump Administration—and any future administration—spends taxpayer dollars more responsibly. Duckworth’s new Federal Travel Transparency Act would increase transparency and oversight by making the air travel activities of cabinet secretaries and agency leaders available to the public online and requiring that the data be in an open, easily accessible format.
“Every public servant has a responsibility to be a good steward of public dollars but it’s clear that Donald Trump and his Cabinet secretaries do not always see it that way,” said Duckworth. “When Trump Administration officials spend thousands of taxpayer dollars to charter a private or military plane or purchase a first-class ticket, they should—at the very least—be required to tell the American people who are bankrolling their luxurious travel why it is necessary. By shining a light on the travel practices of Trump Cabinet officials, this bill would protect taxpayers from the Trump Administration’s wasteful spending on needless luxury travel.”
The Federal Travel Transparency Act follows a number of reports revealing Trump Cabinet Secretaries have spent an exorbitant amount of taxpayer dollars to fly themselves around the country and the world on private and military planes and in first-class. For instance, Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke is being investigated for mixing government travel with political events, and he is under public scrutiny this week for bringing his government-funded security detail on a two-week vacation to Europe last summer. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin spent nearly $1 million dollars to charter eight flights on U.S. military planes, and he even requested the use of a military aircraft to fly him and his wife around Europe on their honeymoon before withdrawing his request after coming under public scrutiny. EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt spent more than $163,000 of taxpayer dollars on air travel in 2017, including $105,000 on first class seats that he insists are necessary for his security. Former Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price was also forced to resign last year after reports revealed he unnecessarily spent more than $1 million to travel on dozens of private and government planes instead of taking cheaper, widely available commercial alternatives.

Your allotted time would be up before you got half that out. I believe that bill is from 2019 and went nowhere. I would just pass on debating that and let it stand as it is. I think you might be laughed off the stage if you brought that up while the Country has so many other pressing issues.

I think you might be laughed off the stage if you brought that up while the Country has so many other pressing issues. So, you want to ignore all of Trump's money wasting debt increasing spending I bring up after you claimed you wanted to discuss his policies. As soon as I discuss them, you run from them and talk about other things. It's not about the bill, but the money Trump and his cabinet traveling in luxury, wasting taxpayer money. It appears you don't care if Trump wastes taxpayer dollars and can't discuss the subject. The debt and deficit spending is one of our most pressing issues. The country can not sustain the continued increase in debt every year that Trump policies bring us. He set records during his first term and his "plan" will set new records if he wins again.

You only brought up his travel expenses and I would let you have that one in a debate. I can see why you don't have a candidate .
