US Budget Deficit Hits A Record $234 Billion As Interest On Debt Soars

[McRocket]

'Another month, another frightening jump in the US budget deficit. And this time it was a record.

According to the latest Treasury data, the US budget surplus in February - traditionally the worst month of the year due to tax refunds - was a whopping $234 billion, missing the $227 billion deficit expected, and well worse than the $214 billion deficit recorded last February. And even though there may have been one-time tax refund and government shutdown factors at play, the February deficit was also the biggest budget deficit on record.'

This means Trump's government is on pace for a $1.3 TRILLION deficit.

This is absolutely ridiculous....especially considering this is during - what Trump calls - the 'greatest economy ever'.

Wrong - government tested IQ of 125...miles from stupid. Also shows you got nothing because your Messiah is fucking up on this and you are just trying to re-direct. Childish and lame.


And save the bullshit. When Obama was in office, you blamed him for his large deficits...guaranfuckingteed. So that makes you a hypocrite.

Now that Trump is in charge - it's his responsibility.

Plus, he was the moron who cut taxes without cutting spending to match...he said the huge economic increase would increase government tax receipts enough to cover the tax cut. Only idiots do that...and he was 100% wrong.


And if it is spending - this budget was passed while the Reps controlled both houses.

So is this deficit mostly Trump's responsibility - yes or no?

GOP is prepping to lie their faces off that the cause is strictly entitlements and discretionary spending that they wanted to cut anyway and not the awful unbalanced tax policy they implemented. Meanwhile the tax cut has made the rich quite a bit richer with little tax hit. Brilliant.

I don't have a team, Corky.....I dropped out years ago.

 

[kyzr]

I'm not sure why the dems are whining about the deficit, they control spending going forward. I want to see what Nancy intends to do about the Deficit.
The Trump GOP budgets for 2018/2019 did not balance and added about $2T to the $20T Debt, now at $22T.

What will Nancy and the dems do for the FY2020 and FY2021 Budgets? Any bets that they won't be any more in balance than Trump's?
Will the dems try to take away the tax cut for the top rate? I don't think the dems should throw stones until they show their 2020 Budget.

And everyone predicting slower growth, deficits will really increase then. Meanwhile trump demands more spending. Great day for the Dow... ouch.

Anyway...

[Rambunctious]

Is this deficit acceptable to you?

So you deny that the military was underfunded under Obama?...look ISSL has been defeated...they are no longer an issue...that kind of victory takes money...too bad Obama allowed a sequester stay in place choking to death our military while they were on the battlefield...the media should have hounded Obama with every death of our under funded troops....wake up man...

We have always spent way more than any other country in the world. You are out of your mind if you think they have ever been underfunded. But you just love deficits eh? Partisan stupidity is funny. Seems like a mental illness really.
