The country has never run this high of a deficit during good economic times.
“This is unprecedented,” said Justin Bogie, senior policy analyst on fiscal affairs at the conservative Heritage Foundation.
“We are running up the national credit card when everything is going our way economically,” said Maya MacGuineas, president of the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget. “It shows Congress has lost any will to make hard choices to fix near-record debt levels we’re already facing.”
“The bigger the debt, the bigger the chances of a fiscal crisis,” CBO Director Keith Hall said Monday.
If spending keeps up at this pace (and there is every indication that it will), President Trump and his successors are going to have less flexibility to pump up the economy during a downturn or even a crisis.
While Trump campaigned on reducing the debt, he and the GOP-led Congress have made the deficit worse in the past year
What Trump and Congress have done since June is “estimated to make deficits $2.7 trillion larger than previously projected” in the next decade, the CBO wrote in its report.

Trump is on track to smash Obama's spending record. He and Congress have actually ACCELERATED deficits in an economic climate where they should be REDUCING deficits.

Where is the tea party?As long as Trump spends money it's ok. It's part of the plan for salvation. We all know it.
Like Paul Ryan? HaIt doesn't matter.
No one cares about the debt or the deficits if they did they would vote people into office that cared.

The problem is that those who claimed to care are liars. Dems have a much better record on debt than these scum. And that isn’t saying much...

Like I said nobody cares.
I don't know why you are bringing up any politician because none of them care and neither do the people that vote for them

Because all the members of a certain party run on caring. Then when given power they prove what scum they are.

Dems don't care about the debt unless Republicans are in office and the people that vote for dems don't care about the debt
Repubs say they are about the debt but they don't and people who vote for repubs don't care about the debt because they vote for people who say they care about the debt but don't
Get it?

I think many believe the ridiculous lies. Like only if we controlled congress. And well we control congress but need the presidency. And now they are distracted by the shiny object and think spending on a wall is more important.
