THE NEWS MEDIA ONCE AGAIN FAILS TO INFORM AMERICA AND ITS PEOPLE DURING TIMES OF DECISION MAKING.

THE REPUBLICAN PARTY'S OBSTRUCTION IN CONGRESS IS WELL KNOWN BUT THE MEDIA FAILS IN ITS RESPONSE AND ACTUALLY ENABLES THE PARTY IN THEIR OBSTRUCTION BY NOT COUNTERING THE OBSTRUCTION WITH FACTS. A GOOD EXAMPLE IS THE PARTY'S PLEDGE TO OPPOSE RAISING OF THE GOVERNMENT'S DEBT CEILING AND TO ALLOW THE COUNTRY TO DEFAULT ON PAYING OFF ITS OBLIGATIONS THEY THEMSELVES VOTED FOR. THE GOP USES AND HIDES BEHIND THE EXCUSE STATEMENT THAT THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION WANTS TO INCREASE SPENDING. THAT OF COURSE IS A SELF SERVING STATEMENT BY THE GOP WHICH THE MEDIA GIVES A LOT OF ATTENTION TO BUT NEVER POINTS OUT TO THE PUBLIC THAT IT IS THE REPUBLICAN PARTY THAT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR CREATING MOST OF THE DEBT BY THE GOVERNMENT IN THE LAST 50 PLUS YEARS AND THAT IT STARTED BIG TIME WITH THE REAGAN ADMINISTRATION. THE MEDIA HAS ALSO FAILED TO POINT OUT THAT IT IS THE GOP THEMSELVES WHO ARE THE BIG SPENDERS AND OWN THE LARGEST PERCENTAGE INCREASE IN FEDERAL SPENDING FOR THE PAST 40 YEARS WHICH CONTINUED IN 2020 UNDER TRUMP WHEN FEDERAL SPENDING HIT A RECORD $6.5 TRILLION. DURING THE PAST 50 PLUS FISCAL YEARS THE NATIONAL DEBT INCREASED AS FOLLOWS ON EACH PRESIDENT'S TERM OR TERMS IN OFFICE. 1. RONALD REAGAN 8 FISCAL YEARS UP 186% 2. GEORGE W. BUSH 8 FISCAL YEARS UP 105% 3. NIXON-FORD 8 FISCAL YEARS UP 98% 4. BARRACK OBAMA 8 FISCAL YEARS UP 70% 5. GEORGE H.W. BUSH 4 FISCAL YEARS UP 54% 6. JIMMIE CARTER 4 FISCAL YEARS UP 43% 7. BILL CLINTON 8 FISCAL YEARS UP 31% 8. KENNEDY-JOHNSON 8 FISCAL YEARS UP 18% 9. DWIGHT EISENHOWER 8 FISCAL YEARS UP 6% 10. ROOSEVELT-TRUMAN UP 3% NOTE: TRUMP'S NUMBERS ARE NOT KNOWN YET BECAUSE HIS FOURTH FISCAL YEAR DOES NOT END TILL 9/30/21 BUT WE DO KNOW THAT WHEN THE NUMBER COMES IN IT WILL SHOW THAT THE NATIONAL DEBT INCREASED MORE THAN HALF OF WHAT IT DID ON PRESIDENT OBAMA'S WATCH AND TRUMP ONLY SERVED 4 YEARS. THE REPUBLICAN PARTY NEVER REFUSED TO RAISE THE DEBT CEILING WHEN THEIR PARTY CONTROLLED THE WHITE HOUSE AND WAS ADDING RECORD DEBT AND SPENDING TO THE GOVERNMENT'S FISCAL HOUSE. BUT DURING THE CLINTON PRESIDENCY REPUBLICAN NEWT GINGRICH THREATENED TO SHUT DOWN THE GOVERNMENT OVER THE DEBT CEILING, THE GOP DID IT AGAIN DURING OBAMA'S PRESIDENCY AND NOW WITH MITCH MCCONNELL LEADING THE GOP THEY VOTED AGAINST RAISING THE DEBT CEILING AND PROCLAIMED THEIR PARTY WOULD WANT TO SEE THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT DEFAULT ON THE OBLIGATIONS THEIR PARTY HELPED TO CREATE. THE ONLY MEDIA SOURCE FOR THE PUBLIC ON HOW THE GOP ARE THE LARGEST SOURCE OF INCREASED FEDERAL SPENDING, OF INCREASES IN THE NATIONAL DEBT AND THE CREATION OF DEBT, HIGHER UNEMPLOYMENT, LOWEST IN JOB CREATION, WORST IN BALANCING THE FEDERAL BUDGET, WORST AT REDUCINT DEFICIT SPENDING AND WORST AT LOWERING UNEMPLOYMENT IS "POLITIDOSE" COMMENTARY OVER THE PAST 9 YEARS. CAN ANY ONE REMEMBER THE NEWS MEDIA EVER GIVING OUT THIS INFORMATION WHILE THE GOP WAS CLAIMING TO BE THE BEST AT EVERYTHING? THEY ARE TO BUSY ENABLING THE GOP AND ITS LIES OF PROPAGANDA. THE RECORD AND FACTS SPEAKS FOR THEMSELVES AS TO WHAT PARTY IS BEST AT GOVERNING AND ITS THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY WITH OUT A DOUBT. THE NEWS MEDIA IS JUST IGNORANT OF THE FACTS BEAUSE THE GOP HAS MORE TO SAY FOR THEM TO COMMENT ON EVEN THOUGH THE GOP'S COMMENTS ARE LIES. NOTE; FOR MORE DETAIL CONCERNING FEDERAL SPENDING INCREASES BY THE GOP READ PAST COMMENTARY BY POLITIDOSE. THIS COMMENTARY WRITTEN BY JOE LORIO
