Deficit spikes 12 percent in first two months of fiscal year: CBO

Trump is one of the worse things to ever happen to the republican party. The guy is going to lose them power for decades to come.

No he won't...

If these last three guys didn't end the republican party, nothing will.....


As long as future republicans can dress up in funny little hats, call themselves the tea party or something and pretend the previous president never existed, everything will be ok....like last time...

And lets remember what Oxycontin Rush admitted to just this year about the debt and deficit...…on his own radio show....


CALLER: In 2019, there's gonna be a $1 trillion deficit. Trump doesn't really care about that. He's not really a fiscal conservative. We have to acknowledge that Trump has been cruelly used.


LIMBAUGH: Nobody is a fiscal conservative anymore. All this talk about concern for the deficit and the budget has been bogus for as long as it's been around.

When was it a core principle? I have watched both parties exploded the debt of over 50 years.

From the day Clinton took office to the day he left, the US debt rose.

Debt can't be eliminated without first eliminating the deficit. That didn't happen until 1998. At that point Clinton stopped stealing from the social security fund. Then started paying off the money that reagan and the first bush stole from it. By the time Clinton was done Social Security was in the black and declared saved. Again.

He wrote and left a plan to have the reagan/bush national debt paid off by 2010 and was working his last couple years to implement it.

He did increase the debt but at the slowest pace of any president in contemporary history. When he started the national debt was around 4.5 trillion dollars. When he was finished it was around 5.6 trillion. He only added a little over a trillion to the debt.

No republican president in contemporary history has done that.

Had the bush boy kept his word and not touched Social Security, the theft would have not restarted and put the fund in jeopardy.

Had the bush boy followed the plan Clinton left, we would have become debt free in 2010.

If people would stop electing republicans we could get the national debt and budget deficit under control and eventually eliminated.

The recession that Bush had right after he was elected and then 9/11 seemed to overtake the spending.

A Democratic President and a Republican Congress seem to be the best at reducing the spending. But it takes both parties and we don’t seem to be concerned about it because candidates tell us about their new spending plans and we vote for them.

Republicans were EXTREMELY WORRIED Hillary would expose their cronies by eliminating the deficit & creating a surplus. "Clinton’s well-known fiscal prudence would fail to stimulate the economy, making her a one-term president. It’s wrong for Democrats to applaud the fiscal responsibility that Hillary Clinton is proposing."
