2025 Deficit comes in at 1.97 Trillion. This Is Way Out of Hand

[Hafar1014]

Um, yeah, first, **** off.

Secondly, I just found out about a former coworker of mine, worked for a company for 36 years. Got let go because the Private Equity Fund decided to do another round of downsizing.

We didn't do life right. We kept voting in Republicans, who kept letting the One Percenters **** the working class. Which you are fine with, you like being a house slave, I guess. The rest of us, not so much.

Biden screwed the working class with inflation. Trump just gave them the biggest tax cut in history

 

[Hafar1014]

nope, you are losing your ass on the shutdown because Bubba and Billy-Bob are realizing that it's their health care you are trying to cut.

The ACA needs a lot of work you cant just keep dumping money in it. Healthcare for illegals is what democrats want. In the meantime Trump is firing thousands of democrats draining the swamp. Fire baby fire

 

[EMH]

Trump is cutting spending and the tariffs can pay off the deficit before his term ends. At the same time democrats want to spend trillions for illegals. Good luck getting elected with that kind of baggage.

Trump is, as 47, trying to do something.

The GOP, from 1998 to 2025, did NOTHING but gun the debt higher. From the coup of Newt Gingrich to 2024, the GOP never cut anything.

And YES, it is the PRO ISRAEL "Republicans" who are the biggest of the big spenders.

Ha! Hit a nerve did I?....Good!

Inflation was a world-wide phenomenon, not just the US.

Cutting taxes when we can't pay our bills is a stupid idea. Someone is going to have to pay that money back at some point.

Biden caused the inflation with massive debt based spending and destructive energy policies.
Tax cuts increase tax revenues.
We end the deficit with tariffs and spending cuts, then we pay down the debt against democrats trying to spend trillions on illegals. Good luch selling that to America

True, he cost US families $11,400 in buying power, that is a lot of pay raises to make up.

Tax cuts increase tax revenues.

Bullshit. Tax cuts just meant we borrowed more even if revenue increased slightly.

Tax cuts increase tax revenues thats simply a fact. Spending causes borrowing. That was the Biden economy debt based government spending

Trump-45's 2017 tax cuts were supposed to grow GDP to 5%, not even close.
All they did was get Trump to add $8T to the debt.

Tax cuts are never balanced with spending cuts, that's the problem.
we need the top tax rate to be 40%.

Pay what money back? Revenues go up after every large tax cut.

Despite CBO’s Predictions, Trump Tax Cuts Were a Boon for America’s Economy and Working Families | The U.S. House Committee on the Budget - House Budget Committee

The Official U.S. Congressional website of The Republican Budget Committee

budget.house.gov

The truth is, the Trump tax cuts resulted in economic growth that was a full percentage point above CBO’s forecast, and federal revenues far outpaced the agency’s predictions. In fact, under Trump tax policies in 2022, tax revenues reached a record high of nearly $5 trillion, and revenues averaged $205 billion above CBO predictions for the four years following implementation of the law.

Beyond what the Trump tax cuts did for economic growth and federal revenues, it provided major benefits to working families. The officially reported poverty level fell to its lowest rate in 50 years and unemployment rates for minorities and those without a college degree hit all-time lows. Real median household income rose by $5,000, and wages went up by nearly 5 percent. Americans earning under $100,000 saw an average tax cut of 16 percent. And while the tax burden on low-income families went down, the top one percent saw their share of federal taxes go up.

Coming out of the covid shutdown the GDP was just recovering from -2%, not a true number, it went right back down to 2%.

He caused inflation across the entire world? Really?

No, tariffs (which are a tax on the working class) won't end the deficit.

I mean, I honestly hope you don't actually believe the garbage you spout here, it shows you are bad at math.

 

[HikerGuy83]

The GOP, from 1998 to 2025, did NOTHING but gun the debt higher. From the coup of Newt Gingrich to 2024, the GOP never cut anything.

Clinton's lasts three years showed almost no deficit. The CBO actually claims he had a surplus.

The CBO also looked at economic conditions and projected that the debt could have been paid off in Bush's 2nd term had he staid the course.

Of course, he didn't and should be shot, buried, dug up, and burned to a crisp for his terrible waste of money and LIVES.

I am still looking for you to tell me what the deficit will be in fiscal 2026.

On the other thread you said we'd (essentially) offset spending by 4 trillion over 10 years.

But at 2 trillion a year (actually worse per projections) we increase the debt by (20 and take away your 4) 16 trillion.

At that point, interest on the debt will be nearly 2 trillion a year (unless we get some serious interest rate reductions).

So, while I am happy to see a 20% reduction due to tariffs.....we need the other 80% and I see Jack Squat about that.

Where is it coming from.

Are you saying the fiscal 2026 deficit will be 1.6 trillion? Please answer and let me know what you are using as a basis.
Because right now, Trump isn't touching it much.

 

[initforme]

You clamed we the people pay the tariffs not businesses.

The Tariffs are againt the goods that get made on China. You lnow, stuff we used to make in the USA.

The democrats and rinos literally disnantked are factories and shipped the equipment to china.

We want those jobs back to payback the debt democrats and rinos createf

Lets get those jobs back and pay americans a huge bunch more for the same product.

Trump has to change course. There will be turbulence. Deficit spending is like addiction. Cutting it off will have "withdraw symptoms." Trump has corrected the tariff issue, he's cut government, and the DOJ, for the first time in a quarter century, is actually prosecuting card carrying members of "Alliance for Treason Against America"

Comey
L James
Bolton

hopefully many many more...


One of the "withdraw symptoms" is the buyouts of government "workers." That all gets expensed immediately, and hence while this year's deficit will be high, it is not "ongoing spending" but necessary one time expenditures to get rid of the treasonous kleptocratic bigoted filth that has infested the Fed government for decades.
