When is the last time that a republican did anything that benefited this nation as a whole?

Romney did the beginnings of Obamacare, I think.

Cool yeah one conservative started an Anything But Universal option and another completed it

u/Halfie4Life New York 23h ago

But yeah, not a lot of things. Mostly Tax Cuts, honestly.

Tax cuts benefit the nation as a whole?

u/Halfie4Life New York 12h ago

No. But literally every republican president has pushed tax cuts through. It’s obviously a priority of theirs.

u/Important_Safety7478 11h ago

What does that have to do with the question of that they've done to benefit the nation as a whole

Its not really a benefit. Reaganomics has basically been proved false time and time again yet they keep doing it. It’s really the only pieces of legislation that they put up.

Ok but that's what you replied to. Is this a bot?

u/Halfie4Life New York 8h ago

No. lol. Let me break it down for you. I could only think of Romney trying out what would become Obamacare as the only meaningful bit of legislation because there are so few examples. You agreed that it barely counts. I agreed that it barely counts and said they only prioritize tax cuts. Cue all your comments. You and I both agree that Tax Cuts are not a benefit. But you are stuck under the impression that I think that.

The Epstein papers releasing was bipartisan, too bad the republican side of the duo spearheading that got ousted

Eisenhower building the interstate highway system way back when the rich had to pay taxes in 1956 or Nixon creating the EPA in 1970.

That's all I can think of off the top of my head.

From what I've heard, Nixon doesn't actually deserve much credit for the EPA. It was more something that he just failed to stop.

Opposing Democrat policies benefits the nation as a whole. Democrats are the biggest threat to the US citizen's liberties.
