There are countless ways in which bad leftwing policy directly or indirectly leads to the deficit and national debt. Examples:
- Inviting millions of illegal aliens in to loot the system.
- Causing millions of people to be on welfare by suppressing work opportunities with hyper-regulation and burdensome taxes.
- Failing to make REAL, RATIONAL reform in the health care system.
- Paying for princely salaries for state and federal employees, along with super lavish benefits and pensions.
- Harming US competiveness with such as the failed government school system and "affirmative action".
- Destroying the nuclear family in many ways big and small.
- Propagating the notion that their constituencies have a "right" to anything they can dream up.
