I was correct. You do not know the difference between them.I guess you think that Trump's deficits are sustainable and we should just keep on increasing them at 150+% percent rates until they are $20 Trillion each year, which is the pace that Trump has us on.Is anyone going to inform the OP about the difference between the Debt and the Deficit?
BTW, I am one of the few people here to go after Trump for spending (deficits). Unlike the Democrats who ignore spending (deficits) when they are in charge, and whine like little bitches when Repulican's spend (Deficits).
All during the Obama administration, the progressive and democrat fluffed off the excessive spending (deficit) saying it was sustainable. It wasn't until austerity measures forced by the republican's partial shutdown of the government over a period of two years that brought spending (deficits) down.
Meanwhile, the 10 trillion dollar debt accumulated by ALL the presidents going back to the beginning of government debt was dwarfed by the addition of another 10 trillion dollars to the debt through the Porkulus package set up by Bush and implemented by Obama.
We CANNOT continue to spend 1.2t dollars (deficit) over the amount of taxes we collect.
So, the solution is to prioritize spending and eliminate that which is not specifically stated in the Constitution.
Get back to Me when you learn the difference between debt and deficit.
