    Congress, which include the R house, are the bodies that enact spending.
    The president only signs or vetos the congress spending bills.

    ...
    Fiscal policy refers to the actions taken by governments to help direct their economies. This is done through a variety of measures, including taxation. There isn't just one central body responsible for fiscal policy. In fact, both the President and the U.S. Congress have a hand in it, which means it is directed by both the executive and legislative branches of the U.S:

    • In the executive branch, the two most influential offices in this regard belong to the President and the Secretary of the Treasury, although contemporary presidents often rely on a council of economic advisers as well.
    • In the legislative branch, the U.S. Congress passes laws and appropriates spending for any fiscal policy measures. This process involves participation, deliberation, and approval from both the House of Representatives and the Senate.
    The so-called Taxing and Spending Clause of the U.S. Constitution, Article I, Section 8, Clause 1, authorizes Congress to levy taxes.1

    National Archives. "America's Founding Documents: The Constitution of the United States: A Transcription, Section 8."

    However, the Constitution really only specifies two legitimate purposes for taxation: To pay the debts of the federal government and to provide for the common defense.

    Why are there (allegedly) so many Putin addicts.

    And in the other corner are the Biden supporters,
    who are - pointless.

    They're ill-conceived, poorly written claptrap.
    Propaganda.
    The guy is isn't even a half-decent propagandist. The highlighted points are particularly absurd.

    It’s a new information for me that before Biden came to power there were no national debt. Joe Biden run up $35 trillion debt.

    And then you wonder why no one cares what GOP has to say. They can’t even put together a list without lying.

    The day Biden took Office US national debt was $28 trillion.

    Forget about the guy who wrote the article. MAGA believes these lies. You just have to read some of the post here. How do you wipe out border? Biden indoctrinate universities , how? Did Biden nationalized university and brought new teacher ? Biden convince American to marry late or don’t get married at all. In one hand MAGA says Biden is senile and someone pulling the string, but then they believe Biden convinced million of American not to get married. Biden must have Jedi Mind to manipulate millions of American not to get married, while he is doing that , he can’t remember which door to open.

    Either Biden is senile and someone pulling the string or he did everything in this list.

    He can’t be both.

    Which one do you think he is?

    Biden is senile and under the control of the radicals who are running the White House. Listen to Biden when he asks if he can speak or asks if he can make a comment or answer a question. The president is the boss that last I knew, and until now was not asking others if he can speak.

    If Trump were doing that, you be all over him and screaming that he was mentally incompetent.

    Why would you be surprised when the national dialogue has descended to the level where malevolent types like this old goat have any credibility?

    Do you have proof of all these or it’s just the gossip near the water fountain.

    Yes, Trump is a narcissist, but we were discussing Biden's mental competence.

    Yes, I've seen him on television shaking hands with the air, getting lost on stage, not knowing where to go and mixing up his words. I also see him ducking quesions from reporters and holding no press conferences. During 64 years of really observing presidents, since the time of John Kennedy, I have never seen a chief executive act like this.

    Are these the actions of a president who is in control, or do we have a puppet who kept away from the press and the public? This last time it was this bad, was when Woodrow Wilson had had a stroke in the late teens, and his wife was shielding him from the public.

    JFK was BSing the American people.

    "The 'war to end all wars' came to a conclusion on the Western Front with the Armistice of 11 November 1918. While the carnage between the Allies and Germany ended in France and Belgium, fighting continued in Europe and Asia. During the post-Armistice era, American soldiers continued the fight to make the world safe for democracy against another enemy in a harsh and hostile environment.

    Largely forgotten, the fighting in Russia between Allied forces, including a large contingent of American troops, and Bolsheviks would persist for another year and a half. From late summer 1918 to early spring 1920, the United States and other Allied nations engaged in combat operations against Bolshevik forces around Archangel in North Russia and around Vladivostok in far off Siberia."

    Yes, Biden's frequent mental incompetence is indisputable,
    but sometimes he has about average intelligence, and some
    education on top of it, not much, but he remembers some.

    But I consider the evil of the Biden Administration, of the Neocons
    to be far worse.

    Reagan was a neoliberal, and a moderate neocon.

    Both are big money wasters and damage the country.

    Biden is worse than Reagan on both.

    You'd be surprised how quickly Hanson would look like the jackass he is. @Quantum Nerd would take him apart faster than a pit bull works over a chew toy.
