US Government Spends A Record $433 Billion In One Month As Deficit Explodes

[DOTR]

I think I’ll support Democrats in their efforts to slash spending and cut this dastardly deficit. I mean I see the power they have to shut down hearings and government functions to get what they want. Surely they will be going all out to cut spending and help us avoid deficits.
After all the Trump economy is booming. Unemployment is at record lows. Now is the only time we can cut spending I would think. And if the Tepublicans won’t agree to slash spending then I’ll support any Democrat efforts to do so.
Fat chance of that though lol

Donald Trump's businesses have filed for bankruptcy multiple times.
Trump himself has stated that he makes going broke work for him & his companies.
Watch this angry bastard screaming about FAILURE.

So, our POTUS is a con man & he plans to bankrupt America.
Trump believes he can just spend, spend, spend & destroy the US fiscally, then go to some non existent court & make America 'solvent' like he did with his business bankruptcies.
Trump is a frickin mad man.

There is no difference between the two parties when it comes to spending. This you can count on, both parties will spend and spend when in office and both will complain about it when they are out of office.

Neither party will stop the madness. Higher taxes, cut spending is the only way out but neither side is interested in it.

There is a difference. Your false equivilancies won't change that fact.

The debt continues to grow, we just want to blame. Name the last President when the debt went down from the time they entered the office and when they left office.

THE DEEP STATE!

The deep state is made up of career politicians and civilian federal employees that are accountable to nobody...
That is why we have a federal government that’s far too big and an unpayable debt...

THE DEEP STATE! ROTFLMFAO!

/—-/ Liberals now admit the Deep State is real.
The 'deep state' is real. But are its leaks against Trump justified? | Jack Goldsmith

Yep, partisan sheep on both sides trout out the deep state myth when it suits them

/——/ Here’s some reading for you Career Officials versus Appointees in Washington, D.C. - dummies

So, which is the deep state, the career officials of the appointees?

Yep, since then the parties have just spent and spent and spent, but that is okay as long as yours is the one spending.

That it the predictable outcome of a system where two parties have a monopoly.

But there are different levels of bad spending. For instance deficits dropped drastically under Clinton and he ended with a balanced budget. Obama spent a ton to get out of a recession and then deficits declined. Now we are spending a ton in a good economy? WTF?

The Congress and the President, share the responsibility. Which again puts the blame on the two parties in charge.

Dims only give a fuck about the deficit when a Republican is in the White House.

As evidenced by Clinton's surplus and Obama more than halving the deficit.

Obama tripled the deficit before he halved it. He's like the used car salesman on TV saying he's taking $500 off the price.

As opposed to the republicans who did nothing with the deficit.

So Republicans did nothing, while Obama tripled it, and you're happy with the later?

They dropped under Clinton because of the peace dividend and the Republican Congress. With every budget, Clinton demanded more spending than what was in the budget Republicans approved.

Clinton deserves no credit for reducing the deficit.

They had to force Clinton to balance the budget, then later when this proved popular with the people Clinton falsely claimed all the credit for it, shocker.

Holy shit! Hey would you mind listing the Democrats votes to cut spending and avoid this deficit? I must have missed them.
I know how much they hate deficit spending.

They arent in control, dope.

/——/ They could offer a balanced budget and force the GOP to vote against it, but they didn’t

So you need the dems to fix it?
It's not the dems job to correct the repubs faulty plan.
The GOP should have made the spending cuts before the tax cuts.

/—-/ No, since you’re so dense, I’ll spell it out for you. If democRATs were sincere about reducing the deficit they would have offered their own balanced budget but they never did. Still confused?

The last two Dem presidents were sincere as they both reduced the deficit, dope.

That's a bit of a misleading statistic where Obama is concerned, because the deficit in his first year was so astronomically high. Even then, the deficit went up in some of the Obama years, including going up at the end of his presidency.

Put another way, there was only one year during Obama's presidency in which the deficit was not higher than any year under any other president. In 2015 the deficit was $438 billion, which was less than the deficit in 2008. That's it. Every other year during Obama the deficit was higher than at any other point in US history.

It's great that the deficit went down from the almost $1.5 trillion of 2009. The situation was a lot different from other periods, though.

Besides, presidents don't hold the purse-strings. Congress should be looked at more than presidents when it comes to spending, IMO.

Is the U.S. Budget Deficit Really That Bad?

This shows both the president's party and which party has control of the senate and house, giving a more complete picture about who is in charge during different deficit years.

Republicans held a majority of congressional seats for most of Clinton's terms. Blaming one party is partisan foolishness.

The debt remained almost the same during Truman's terms, but it did go up slightly, from $258 billion to $266 billion. Still, that's damned impressive compared to what's come since.
