Absolutely.In other words, if I keep more of my money you think that drives up the federal debt.

Like what? What has the man brought to near ruin in the past 100 days?Trump has brought this country to near ruin in record speed.
The more time we give him to do this, the more damaged we'll be.
/----/ Fake outrage from the leftards who gave us 36 Trillion in debt.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."
I often wonder how your lying propagandists are so easily able to keep you from learning the facts.He ruined the greenie oil and gas assault on American soil.
You are a victim of CCP propaganda. They are blessing their commie stars you and your kind have fallen for it. Now they can move into the vacuum left by the US and benefit from the soft power we have enjoyed around the world.
He ruined the free money/USAID scheme.
The bird flu has nothing to do with Trump or Biden.He ruined the eggs eggs eggs Biden crisis.
Using hyperbole won't conceal your lies.He ruined Bidens whopping gas prices.
Again, lies. And your 401(k) is being destroyed because of those lies.He ruined the world's tariff rip offs.
You made an ass of yourself ASSUMING I was against increasing the Navy.
I have said the tards like you have been gaslighted into bleeving the GOP is fiscally responsible./----/ Fake outrage from the leftards who gave us 36 Trillion in debt.
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.
WTF does spending have to do with it. Doesn't matter if the government spends ten dollars or ten trillion dollars, if you pay less taxes the government gets less revenue and the deficit goes up. It appears that not only does math surpass your understanding, evidently common sense is a problem too.Not as hard as understanding spending is, for you.
Why didn’t Obama immediately repeal Bush’s “ tax cuts for the rich” like he promised you?If you keep more of your money because you pay less in taxes, then damn skippy, that drives up the federal debt. DUH
It does matter if the government spends $10 then taxes me $10, no deficit.WTF does spending have to do with it. Doesn't matter if the government spends ten dollars or ten trillion dollars, if you pay less taxes the government gets less revenue and the deficit goes up.
The US produces a lot of oil because of existing wells. Biden's war on energy closed ANWR, shut down the KeystoneXL pipeline, and was implementing many stupid regulations like killing the two new LNG terminals, gas stoves, gas powered cars, etc.I often wonder how your lying propagandists are so easily able to keep you from learning the facts.
China's "belts and roads" program is targeted at gaining strategic advantage. The USAID program was a waste of $22b a year.You are a victim of CCP propaganda. They are blessing their commie stars you and your kind have fallen for it. Now they can move into the vacuum left by the US and benefit from the soft power we have enjoyed around the world. All thanks to CCP asset Elon Musk.
trueThe bird flu has nothing to do with Trump or Biden.
Using hyperbole won't conceal your lies.
Gas was $3.076 in January. It is now $3.096.
We'll see by the mid-terms if Trump's tariffs helped or hurt the US economy.Again, lies. And your 401(k) is being destroyed because of those lies.
Oh, wait. You don't have a 401(k).
There's a good chance we are now in a recession thanks to Trump's desiccated brain.
You haven't presented any facts.
WrongHere is exactly what is going to happen.
During the Obama years, the fake Right screamed every day about Obama's spending. Literally from his first day.
During the Trump years, these very same hypocrites lapsed into absolute deafening silence as Trump doubled the deficit, submitted the largest federal spending budget in US history, and spent like a drunken sailor in a whorehouse.
The usual response to these facts by the willfully stupid and blind is "Because Covid!"
But Trump did all these things BEFORE Covid as the hypocrites were stone silent.
During Covid, Trump actually demanded more stimulus spending than the Democrats.
So what is going to happen as Trump racks up a record deficit is...these same spineless, brainless, idiot, hypocrites will be struck dumb once again.
And they will await instruction from their propagandists as to how to blame the Democrats for all the wild spending when the GOP controls the Senate, the House, and the White House.
When Trump says, "Close your eyes and get there", he means it literally.
Close your eyes, rubes, while I spend your grandchildren into a third world nation.
8 trillion dollars in additional debt from the first orange term.g5000 You sure were quiet while Biden was running up debt. and allowing millions of destitute welfare seekers into our country... this is why dems tears mean nothing to us... you act like we were all born yesterday which happens to be a good movie.... so maybe you should take a break from here and watch it...
You seem to believe that the only way to attack the deficit is by taxing people more, G5000. The truth is...we don't have a revenue problem...the revenue the US was taking in after Trump's tax cuts in his first term increased. Our problem is with spending. DOGE is the first step towards getting rid of waste and fraud in Government. It's long overdue and something that liberal Presidents like Clinton and Obama promised to do and failed to deliver on. Trump appears to have the back bone to take on Big Government.DOGE won't even approach the deficit Trump is going to run up.
It won't even be a drop in the bucket. It will be a microscopic, completely irrelevant amount.
You have been thoroughly gaslighted.
