In fact the reply specifically criticizes Trump I, the administration that passed those tax breaks. Whether you consider yourself either a Democrat or a Republican, this is not a problem that continued party politics can solve.

  Could you please stop using HN primarily for political battle? You've been doing this a ton lately, as well as breaking the site guidelines in other ways. Regardless of how right you are or feel you are, this is not what HN is for, and we end up banning accounts that keep doing it (regardless of what their politics happen to be). https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comment&storyText=false&prefix=false&page=0&query=primarily%20test%20by:dang https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comme... https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html p.s. see also https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43141858 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43141858

      > You can't throw an accusation like this with further substantiation That's fair! But I don't know which part you mean—the "doing a ton of political battle" part, or the "breaking the site guidelines in other ways" part? I'm going to assume the latter because the former seems obvious. If that's what you're asking about, these are the comments I was referring to: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43138527 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43138527 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43127613 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43127613 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43127331 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43127331 I wouldn't have made that claim without checking it first. Sometimes I include links like that in mod replies, but sometimes there just isn't time. The main problem, however, is the part about using HN primarily for political battle. That's why I included https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comment&storyText=false&prefix=false&page=0&query=primarily%20test%20by:dang https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comme.... More importantly, I'm sorry that my comment left you feeling accused. I feel accused a lot as well and I know it doesn't feel good.

I see one side curbing the debt and one side ballooning it... definitely a both sides issue!
