Why is spending up?

[iamwhatiseem]

And that October budget will add $5.2 trillion to the debt.

But the cult somehow bleevs Trump and the organization formerly known as the Republican Party are fiscally responsible.

This is why I constantly point out the cult is willfully blind. It is one of the most bizarre phenomena of the modern age.

Biden increased the debt by $8.4T - please link your past responses/threads to that specifically.
And the numbers I saw has Trump's budget increasing the debt by $3.3T not $5.2.
We can link each other if that is what you want.
I am disappointed in Trump's budget, it doesn't go far enough.
And - NOTE - the Democrats wanted NONE of the cuts. NONE. If the Dems had their way and Harris won - we would likely be looking at a $10 T increase.

Its only just started, Give it a little time. Then lets talk about Who & where the money has gone.

Plenty more like it.

This is the last year of Obiden 2.0 spending commitments the Deep State (Johnson boys) claim are obligations baked in too hard to get rid of at this time. Working part time there is no time right now, no votes in swamp.

Next time....deys sey.

 

[leftwinger]

DC Swamp. If you don't keep my pet spending then you don't get permanent TAX rates. In fact you get nothing. We shut down the GOVT.

DOGE findings to be made permanent next 6 mo ths or we have lost the Country forever? Next spending better be down after DOGE findings bake in forever going forward? Economy set to pop again like 2029 steady real growth. Not GOVT growth.

Is that the bottom line right now?

When we have DOGE?

Spending this time last year was $154 billion less.

DOGE claims they "saved" $150 though that is very debatable.

Doesn't seem to be working, does it.

Chart from WSJ

View attachment 1099618


But if he's saved $150 B and spending is still up over $150 B then that means tRump has spend almost 1/3 of a trillion more than Biden did in the same time frame.

This math ain't workin' guys.

I can't see any point to DOGE.

Is it just a big distraction to keep us from noticing something else?

Or is the point really just cause pain?

I get it
You dont understand how DOGE works.

The war machine needs more.

And will until Hamas is eliminated.

Nobody cares to see Epstien alone in a cell, then video of empty hallway for 6 hours. Then Epsien hanging alone? Could it be edited? Who cares?

We want DC cut. We want criminals deported fast. We want criminals targeting Trump people to be locked away. We want those in DC stealing Tax dollars to be exposed and or locked up.

 

[Billiejeens]

Oh just wait. It will get better.
House just approved the budget that will keep in place the Trump tax cuts, introduce more tax cuts and raise the debt ceiling. More spending!

Cute when left wing loons pretend to care about spending.

 

[Billiejeens]

The faithful will call that a "win".

[Billiejeens]

If your goal is reducing government spending, the deficit, and the national debt then any additional money spent is indeed a vice, regardless of whether it is spending that makes you happy.

Money well spent is an investment.

So .. you admit MAGA Mike Johnson is a tool for Democrats ... The House is still at Biden's beck and command ...

... it's always the moron who first cries "you're a moron" ...

No stupid, the FY 2025 budget was passed under Biden.

Does someone have to remind you to breath?

 

[Nostra]

$4 trillion deficit?

Prove it.

How do you know how much debt will be added for something not yet negotiated, Simp?

No, the Conference Board is just a Washington Think Tank...they aren't responsible for anything, they just do what it's members want, like the Brookings Institute, or the Heritiage Foundation.

And, your link has nothing to do with inflation, in fact, if you bothered to reseach it a little more you'd know the Conference Board LEI has been dropping for five months....while inflation has continued to drop. US Leading Indicators

While the LEI dropped some in April it's well above the historical avg of 71.32

Yet your Dear Leader Dumb Don, just pushed a budget with trillions of deficit spending.

You can’t really be this stupid. Right?

Sure I do: They tell lies, you believe them.

It's not really difficult.

Emphasis on the "cult".

They passed a budget on May 22nd.

Can't help you here if you choose to be uninformed ... House Bill 1968 - Full-Year Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2025 - "This bill provides continuing FY2025 appropriations for federal agencies and extends various expiring programs and authorities." ...

Pork barrel Continuing Resolution ... Trump and his TACOs ... this restores some funding that DOGE stripped away ... what a joke, c'mon MAGA Mike ... quit cowering to Democrat pressure ...
