Donald Trump the First Debtor: Federal debt is projected to increase by 38% in Trump's 4-year tenure

[rightwinger]

Barry Hussein Sotoro Obama increased the federal debit by 74% and unemployment was in double digits while he told Americans that good factory jobs were gone forever. Make America great again. Trump is the only logical choice among the gaggle of democrats in the clown car.

The Great Obama cut the deficit in half

 

[Harpy Eagle]

I posted this Friday...it bears being posted again...

If you count starting with their first budget year...

In 8 years Obama added an average of $2,848,864,083 to the debt each and every day.

In the 683 days of Trumps admin he has added $3,070,630,794 to the debt each and every day.

Trump is adding debt even faster than Obama did.

 

[edward37]

Donald Trump promised to eliminate debt in 8 years. So far he is wrong-headed and directionless as he is increasing debt remorselessly.

Donald Trump described the debt as a time bomb and he is priming the bomb.

Not one cent has been spent on infrastructure, which was one of Donald Trump's key election policy issues.

"Nobody is a fiscal conservative anymore," especially Donald Trump who is now considering reducing payroll taxes which will further inflate the budget deficit.

Trump's government spends nearly as much paying interest on national debt as it spends on nation's children

TRUMP'S GOVERNMENT SPENDS NEARLY AS MUCH PAYING INTEREST ON NATIONAL DEBT AS IT SPENDS ON NATION'S CHILDREN
BY NICOLE GOODKIND ON 8/13/19 AT 7:26 PM EDT

President Donald Trump signed a budget deal last week that will add another $1.7 trillion to the national debt, according to the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget. Despite promising to wipe out the national debt in eight years during his presidential campaign, the president has added an estimated $4.1 trillion to the country's debt within his first two and a half years in office.
Interest paid on the increasing national debt has surged, already surpassing the total spent all last year.
Net interest paid on the national debt has jumped up nearly $20 billion to $343 billion in the first 10 months of this fiscal year, already surpassing the $325 billion spent all of last year.
For comparison, in 2018, the federal government spent about $375 billion on children under the age of 19, according to the Urban Institute's Kids' Share report.
Projections find that the federal government spends about $1,200 per American on interest.
The president defended his actions on Twitter, claiming that there would be time to cut the budget later, after the 2020 election. "Budget Deal is phenomenal for our Great Military, our Vets, and Jobs, Jobs, Jobs!" he wrote. "Two year deal gets us past the Election. Go for it Republicans, there is always plenty of time to CUT!"

But fiscal hawks warn that time is running out. "This deal ignores our large and growing fiscal imbalances and is a step in the wrong direction for our economy. We're already heading towards trillion dollar annual deficits, so adding more to the debt is the last thing we need," wrote Michael Peterson, CEO of the Peter G. Peterson Foundation.
Maya MacGuineas, president of the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, issued a stern warning to politicians on both side of the aisle. "Going forward, neither side can claim a mantle of responsible governing, and few have any moral ground to stand on—this is a bipartisan failure," she wrote of the budget deal. "With the national debt rising to historic levels—soon to overtake the size of our entire economy and beyond—and with our largest programs, Social Security and Medicare, spinning toward insolvency, our nation's answer is to make the problem worse at every turn."

Rush Limbaugh, a conservative shock jock and friend of the president, said last month that debt was no longer a priority for Republicans, and that it never had been. "Nobody is a fiscal conservative anymore," he said on his radio show. "All this talk about concern for the deficit and the budget has been bogus for as long as it's been around."

Gee, and where did most of that debt come from...dumbass.

Tax cuts

The simple pos promised tax cuts for the middle class before last election After election ?? SILENCE

President Trump and the GOP Congress had the first two years to pass a deficit reduction package. There is no excuse for failing to do so. As usual, fiscal conservatism was nothing less than specious campaign rhetoric...

Are you sure that it isn't the democrats spending the money, together with RINOs?
