We Reduced The Deficit Last Year Because Of Trump's Cost Cutting And Tariffs

[mudwhistle]

They own the time they are in office.

Trump heavily influenced the deficit in his first year.

He's not a spending hawk.

But neither is congress. A GOP congress that is about as GOP as I am black.

I don't think that's a realistic assessment, especially when congress is in control of spending according to Article I of the US Constitution.

It's notworthy you don't even try to explain Biden and Obama.

There are NO EXCUSES.

lol shut up hack. So pathetic.

First time in a long time.

Something to celebrate.


Your efforts to win the board asshole of the year are paying off.

This is from a thread I started: (read post #24)

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

Oct 13, 2025

Well.....this is great news.

The 2025 deficit was 1.97 trillion. Total revenue was 4.69 trillion which means our deficit was 42% of total revenue and 29.5% of total spending.

I don't have an actual figure, but you can count on 1 trillion of spending on debt servicing alone. 1 FREAKING TRILLION.

In 2024 the deficit was 1.83 trillion.

AND NOBODY CARES (in government).

This is beyond reprehensible.

Total debt is 37.3 trillion. We'll be over 40 before Trump leaves.

We are selling our kids down the river.

You, like so many on this on this board decide from day to day:

What side of the bed you woke up on

What time of the month it is

And run your mouths accordingly.

BTW: You'll see in my thread that I give Clinton all the credit in the world for having a surplus. The CBO projected Bush could have paid our 5 Trillion dollar debt to zero if he hadn't decided to go to war. I hate Bush....literally.


No he didn't. Bush's last deficit wasn't as bad as Obama's. But Bush could have had us in much much betters shape.

Obama ran the first trillion dollar deficit and presided over such a slow recovery that his following three years he was over a trillion. At first, he can be granted some room for the crappy economy Bush left him. But not five years worth.


Trump took Obama's deficit which was on the decline and started increasing it. It didn't reach a trillion....but it got close. His last year was Covid, just like Biden's first year. But Biden then continued with trilllion dollar deficits.

I know just what world I live in.

I have always been critical of Trump.

But the fact remains you stupid east-coast asswipe, the deficit is down from the previous year (he actually is about 200 Billion down from the projected deficit (based on Biden's budget).

That is the subject of this thread.

So cram your little whataboutisms.


Your numbers make no sense. But that's not uncommon.

Simple math says you are full of shit.

The original projection for last fiscal was about 150 Billion over the previous year.

Trump came in (in his first year which is more challenging) 50 billion below last year.

Meaning he was 200 Billion below projected.

That is a fact.

You can talk out your fat ass all you want, but that is a fact.

That is the topic of this thread.

My other thread addresses this in more detail.

This thread is about Trumps REDUCTION from last year. The first time in over a decade.

No. YOU decided to blame Biden and Obama for our debt, (without any explanation of what they inherited) to twist it in to two Democratic presidents only and THAT is what I responding to....


Trump's reduction from last year is FAKE NEWS, a MIRAGE.... considering much of the tariff money he collected from American companies here importing the goods,

HAS TO BE RETURNED to the importers because it was an unconstitutional act, by Trump, according to the Supreme Court ruling.
