[Deno]

...'The real highlight of the August budget report was that government outlays, or total spending, soared to $433.3 billion, not only 30% higher than a year ago, but the highest government monthly outlay of any month on record.'

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

Federal deficit jumps by $214 billion in August


Absolutely pathetic.

Is this Trump's/the Rep's idea of 'small government'?

Useless pricks.

Horseshit. Obama threatened to veto any budget that didn't have the spending he wanted, and if the pubs refused to give it to him, the fake media began crying about all the old people who wouldn't get their social security payments. The claim that Republicans had control of the budget couldn't be any sleazier or more dishonest.

When did they ever do a budget? Are you really this dumb? The government is all republican and spending has gone up. Seems Obama held repub spending down. haha

 

[Harpy Eagle]

We shouldn't be surprised.
This is the same asshole that filed for bankruptcy SIX FUCKING TIMES.
He doesn't know how to handle money.
His life is a facade.
Jared Kusher told Steve Bannon that Trump didn't have the money to contribute to his own campaign, according to Bob Woodward.
No one should be surprised that Trump is wrecking the economy.
He pulls out all the shiny objects before he opens the trap door.

Lol
He’s had a handful of businesses file bankruptcy out of hundreds... You fucking moron

Why do you sheep keep repeating this lie? Trump has not had hundreds of businesses. Trump has the company that his grand mother started that is still going. Other than that every business he has started on his own has failed, and it was not hundreds, or even tens.

Tried his hand at steaks...failed.
Tried his hand at Vodka...failed
Tried his hand at an airline...failed and was repossessed by the bank.
Tried his hand at ice...failed
Tried his hand at Casinos...failed
Tried his hand at publishing...failed

Lol
He inherited a few million dollars is all, and he made billions out of that. Far more successful than his father ever could dream of being... so shut the fuck up

Dude, Trump Inc is the same company that his grandmother started, it is the reason he has what he has today.

Ya and obama got his fortune off of you

How do you figure?

What a little snowflake sheep you are. It was not the Repubs fault when they controlled congress because Obama was the POTUS. Now they control congress and the White House and it is still not their fault.

You are far and away the most loyal sheep on this forum. Holy fuck dude I hope you are getting paid for all the ass kissing that you do

 

[Hutch Starskey]

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 no difference between the two parties when it comes to spending

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.

You just want to blame equally.
Obviously that is not reality.

Better yet, name the last Republican President to lower the deficit.

Calvin Coolidge, the last conservative president.

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

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?

Exactly. There is no equivalency when the Repubs have not even attempted any real reduction.

 

[Hutch Starskey]

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?

You dopes always refer to Obama as if he never had to address a failing economy that no modern president has.
Spending was required to get us out of the hole we were in. The deficit was cut later.

Trump has blown those deficit reductions up in a good economy.

 

[Hutch Starskey]

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.
U.S. Federal Deficits, Presidents, and Congress

Great. Now take spending for inherited wars and recovery out of the equation and add the savings from deficit reductions back in.

Where's Trump's war and recovery spending?
Where's his deficit reduction and spending cuts? Is it even a priority? I haven't even heard him discuss it.

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

What have they held since then?
What party was the next president who reversed those savings?
The next biggest cuts since are where?

The next Dem.

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.

He ran on it and did it. Meanwhile we currently have a Republican President and congress and skyrocketing deficits.

He was lying, and he didn't do it. The House Republicans did it. If you don't recall, with Clinton's first budget, he was projecting deficits as far as the eye could see.

Sure. Then they reversed it all under the next Republican pres.

You mean the way you douchebags ignore the fact that Bush had to deal with the collapse of Clinton's tech bubble, 9/11 and the war on terror?

Fake news the only President to ever triple the debt was Ronnie Raygun!

Deficit and debt are not the same thing.

Also, Reagan was not the only president to have the debt triple while he was in office. The debt increased more than 11 times while FDR was president, going from $22 billion to $258 billion. The debt increased more than 8 times while Wilson was president, going from just under $3 billion to just under $24 billion. I'll repost the link I'm using to get these figures:
U.S. Federal Deficits, Presidents, and Congress

Thank you sir I stand corrected. FDR was dealing with some pretty serious issues during his time in office though.

FDR was busy getting us into his war.

FDR had the Depression to deal with, and WWII wasn't *his* war. While it is my understanding that FDR definitely pushed to get the US involved in the war, hindsight seems to show that getting involved in the war was ultimately the right thing.
