Trump Is Attempting To Achieve Largest Federal Deficit EVAH!

[Rigby5]

Congress is full of cucks too afraid to make the big cuts.

But so far Trump has been cutting health and human services, which never had much budget anyway.
The big federal spending is defense, about 65% of the federal budget, and we have not been attacked since 1812.

Democrat thieves are going to prison.

Exclusive | $375B EPA slush fund handled by John Podesta gave billions to charities founded only months earlier

The EPA gave out $20 billion to environmental justice and green credit groups that had barely registered with the IRS.

$155b saved by DOGE

$600b in democrat theft being "clawed back"

Those are horrible articles.
Like the one criticizing using 1993 modems for internet access.
Those with high speed or fiber optic already have internet.
The only people left who do not have internet, are those with just old phone lines.
In which case the ONLY way they can get internet is with old 1993 modems.

Where do you want the cuts to be? I'd say dept of commerce to start.

Bigger hole: Trump has spent $155bn more than Biden. Musk claims he only save $150bn

The Trump administration has already spent $155 billion more than former President Joe Biden did over the same period of time after their inaugurations, according to Treasury Department data. And Elon Musk is now claiming that his Department of Government Efficiency has only managed to save $150...

Trump spent $150b more than Biden probably because the interest on the Debt is exploding, as well as entitlements.
The good news is that DOGE found $150b in savings, so your point is lost.

House Republicans need to cut spending with a chainsaw.

Democrat thieves still stole $600b in slush funds, and they need to go to prison.

These Are Not Serious People​

​

The party of deficit-busting is about to blow a multi-trillion dollar hole in federal revenues—and paper it over with a budgetary gimmick.​

As they stumble toward a budget bill, GOP lawmakers are also working to renew the tax cuts package from the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. As originally passed, those cuts were temporary—a necessity to make the budgetary math add up at the time. But because current law plans for them to expire, renewing them would (per traditional accounting rules) blow a brand new hole in the federal budget, spiking deficits by hundreds of billions of dollars a year. This will all come at a time when Republicans are trying to posture as though they’re finally ready to get serious—no fooling this time—about the debt.

So how do Republicans hope to surmount this messaging hurdle? By lying, mostly.

The current budget framework, approved by the Senate last week and by the House on Wednesday, takes an approach to assessing its impact on the deficit you might charitably call novel. Rather than scoring the framework on a “current law” baseline—as in, recognizing that the tax cuts are legally set to expire and being honest about the cost of renewing them in the budget framework—Republicans are using a “current policy” baseline: assessing the budget framework in contrast with tax levels as they stand today.

Why make this change? Because it gives them permission to pretend that permanently renewing temporary tax cuts—which, again, had to be temporary to make the math work when they were originally passed—comes with a price tag of zero. It’s free real estate.

It’s hard to find an appropriate metaphor for how ridiculous this is, but Manhattan Institute economist Jessica Riedl took an admirable stab in the New York Times back in March. “Last year, despite being deeply in debt, I bought a $100,000 sports car. So next year, buying another $100,000 sports car is not irresponsible because I am merely spending the same amount of money as the year before,” she wrote. “And if I purchase ‘only’ a $70,000 car, then I should be congratulated for reducing my annual spending by $30,000.”


This is too much for even some Republicans to bear, thus House Speaker Mike Johnson had to cave and not allow the budget to come to a vote.

World Record Spender Donald Trump ordered the House to "close your eyes and get there."

Close your eyes and get there.

Who gives a damn if Trump is driving the country off the cliff in every way possible, amiright?

Remember DOGE was going to save us all taxpayer money? BWA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA! Priceless.



"The largest deficit increase in history".




If you were trying to hasten financial collapse of our country and bribe voters to go along with it, the strategy wouldn’t look much different than what Congress is doing today.

The big beautiful bill cuts taxes while keeping spending on an increasingly unsustainable trajectory.

BOOM.

Did that take you long?...

Bidens debt was roughly the same as Trumps before him.

Both major failures.

1. Medicaid exploded under Biden. Able-bodied people should be thrown off
2. Welfare exploded under Biden. Able-bodied people need to work and put back the 1990s 2-year lifetime limit.
3. Interest on the Debt is exploding, the Fed needs to cut rates as low as possible
4. DOGE needs to fix the government's finances and save us from bankruptcy.
5. The "break glass" option is to cut defense spending and bring US troops home from around the world.

 

[Moonglow]

The right bothers you because they still had or have a voice. About 5% of the Progressives. Look at how it bothers you. When one of the comedy shills' cries over illegals and laughing at murders they commit you all have a good time. Progs do not even talk about the ghettos anymore that they lame Republicans for, even though Progs control the purse strings. Go to Prog cities and 90% of city budgets with police, fire, medical, dept.of children, etc., etc. are spent on ghettos. And the people living within those areas have notices a shift of resources due to illegals getting them. Progs love them some misery.

Two people were killed at FSU and the right cares not.

 

[my2¢]

I hate the Democrat's policies but unfortunately its only under a Democrat president that a Republican congress takes fiscal responsible seriously.

I can see some of your points but that isn't going to get to the amount needed. At least you never mention medicare or social security. Cutting those is not an option nor should it be.

LMAO. Damn right interest on the debt is exploding. The bond market is in turmoil and every bit of that is on Trump. What a flippin idiot. I mean I called this shit right out of the gate. Any savings this damn clown show called DOGE can generate is going to be eclipsed by the higher cost of servicing the debt.

 

[TimFitz]

When Obama and Biden were in office, the fake Right attributed every last penny of the deficits to them directly.

When Trump is running up the debt, it's somebody else's fault dammit!

How DO they stand the stench of their own hypocrisy?

"Close your eyes and get there."

Hypocricy smells sweet to them.

They had majorities under (D) presidents but still ran up the debt.

The only time either party cares is when they are in the minority.

Can you guys ever post actual facts instead of "Trump is attempting to achieve"?

 

[whitehall]

DOGE is trying to reign in spending and save money and democrats fight it every step of the way while they accuse Trump of failing to decrease the national debit in 100 days. What a freaking bunch.

No disrespect but I have to disagree with you there on the 2nd part.

I see congressional Democrats as never caring. It seems to me why we have increase in debt during those times is because Republican presidents to get things they want, have to compromise by giving Democrats other things that they're after. It's a double whammy.

But equally it could be the clear policy of someone who knows precisely what they are doing .
Namely , to force down the dollar until formal bankruptcy is clear to everybody .
Then to Re-set the system away from Debt and to a new system resting on a hard value fixed standard -- probably Gold

Then he will announce that he has found $500 trillion by monetising all possible natural resources .

ONE END RESULT ?
End of people like you shooting off before you understand the most likely script .
