Trump: I will eliminate U.S. debt in 8 years


Sooooo...how's that going?


Federal deficit increases 26% to $984 billion for fiscal 2019, highest in 7 years

Spending for first 2.5 years of Trump admin? 13% HIGHER than same period under Obama

2nd President without 3% GDP growth

Keep a nice pile of cash off out the markets so that when it does you can buy cheap.

He didn't lie he was just unsuccessful. If my kid promises to get all As but gets one B, she didn't lie she just didn't accomplish her goal. Relax, your God, HRC is a loser.

If you dislike him then vote him out in 2020, little man.

#1 He hasn't been in office 8 years.

#2 Pelosi has refused for the last 10 months to allow the USMCA deal to be voted on by Congress, because it would go a long way towards stimulating the economy and eliminating the national debt.

Another example of the Democrats putting party over country. ..

Another reminder that Trump has negotiated zero deals with anybody

Please don't tell me you are so massively brain damaged that you actually believe Trump will be able to pay off $23 trillion of debt in the next five years, $3 trillion which he has personally ADDED.

You can't possibly be that stupid.

"Defense, Medicare and interest payments ballooned the shortfall."

The Devil is in the details, eh? As long as Democrats and their accomplices in the media keep demonizing any reforms to Medicare, we will be unable to address the deficits in any meaningful way. And interest payments are mostly on previous debt racked up by Obama.

So what is your solution? Eliminate defense spending and Medicare For All?

1. Eliminate all tax expenditures. This alone would save $1.4 trillion a year, providing a surplus. Then we can cut tax rates for everyone and pay down the debt. Once the debt is paid off, we can lower tax rates even more. Added bonus: Entities earning identical incomes would pay identical taxes! Extra added bonus: Special interests would no longer be able to bribe politicians to put tax expenditures in the tax code, thus removing the incentive to bribe them. Instant campaign finance reform.


2. Raise the Social Security and Medicare eligibility age to 70, and index to 9 percent of the population going forward. We are living DECADES longer than our ancestors. We should be working longer. Common sense.


It's very, very simple to balance the budget, lower tax rates, and pay off the debt. But our crooked politicians have the gullible rubes' attention getting all hot and bothered about Mexicans.

Trump is a big, fat liar.

Our representatives from both parties have failed on this issue.
Apparently it isn't a priority with the voters of either party also, as it isn't even mentioned unless as a stick to beat the current administration in office with.
Congress holds the purse strings and they have no interest in this issue.
Three decades of overspending and failing to make the painful cuts necessary. Politicians and the public have no stomach for real solutions to any issue.

What the hell, max it out. That fiat currency from the Fed has no real value anyway.
