I guess the 13 embassy attacks and 60 deaths under Bush were just a minor inconvenience though. \*\*Who slashed the funding for embassy security? \*\* ``` For fiscal 2013, the GOP-controlled House proposed spending $1.934 billion for the State Department’s Worldwide Security Protection program – well below the $2.15 billion requested by the Obama administration. House Republicans cut the administration’s request for embassy security funding by $128 million in fiscal 2011 and $331 million in fiscal 2012. (Negotiations with the Democrat-controlled Senate restored about $88 million of the administration’s request.) Last year, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton warned that Republicans’ proposed cuts to her department would be “detrimental to America’s national security” – a charge Republicans rejected. Ryan, Issa and other House Republicans voted for an amendment in 2009 to cut $1.2 billion from State operations, including funds for 300 more diplomatic security positions. Under Ryan’s budget, non-defense discretionary spending, which includes State Department funding, would be slashed nearly 20 percent in 2014, which would translate to more than $400 million in additional cuts to embassy security. ``` ---

> [@marshmallow](#): > > Conservatives are alarmed by the ballooning debt… Conservatives didn’t give a flying fuck about the ballooning debt from 1981 to 1993, then it was a serious problem from 1993 to 2001, then they didn’t give a fuck again until 2009, and from then to now it’s been a crisis. It’s quite puzzling, really. That’s why conservatives think Trump will fix the debt problem. He won’t lower it, of course, but no matter how much it goes up they can go back to not giving a flying fuck about it. > [@iiandyiiii](#): > > Unlike any recent Republican president, Obama lowered the deficit almost every year. > > That’s kind of rule since 1980 – Republican presidents greatly increase the deficit, and Democrats reduce it. Republicans aren’t fiscally responsible, and Democrats are, based on the last handful of presidencies. Yep. Anybody who votes for a Republican for president on the grounds that they’ll be fiscally responsible has had his head in the sand for 35 years. ---

**Clothahump** is wronger’n wrong. Hillary’s presidency won’t, in fact, be “the same disastrous bullshit” - it’ll be _worse_. The woman is even more of a corrupt elitist than Obama is. Privileged “progressives”–who come from all colors, btw - this ain’t a race-based privilege I’m talking about, it’s a matter of socioeconomic class–love to run their mouths during and about post-Carter Democrat presidencies about how things are improving and moving up/did improve and move up. Up! Up! **Up!** Meanwhile, those of us without said privilege have gotten, are getting, and will continue to get lip service while we get hosed down by the establishment (in many cases, literally). ---
