U.S. Posts Largest-Ever Monthly Budget Deficit in February

[Media_Truth]

WHAT? I do indeed acknowledge it and keep posting the official results. You keep ignoring the results and stick to your cut and paste lies. What effect did 7 interest rate hikes have on the deficit in 2017 AND 2018? You never answer direct questions but keep sticking to your cut and paste posts.You are totally incapable of doing any research to find out what was spent and what spending was cut. You totally ignore the Trump budget which actually cut department spending and you have no understanding as to the difference between mandatory and discretionary spending. You are a full blown liberal who is ashamed of that title so you claim to be an independent. Independents do research you have done none

Did you acknowledge that Bill Clinton had a Republican Congress most of his two terms? did you acknowledge that when Obama supposedly cut the deficit in 15 and 16 he had a Republican Congress? Of course not because you are too blinded by the left wing ideology

All you ever resort to, in your rhetoric, is name-calling and bashing. That's because you have no substance. You post nothing but lies.

Credit to Clinton and Obama for working with a Republican Congress. How well did Trump do with that? He couldn't even work within his own Party. Post some LIEs now, for your response.

Obviously official data isn't substance to you nor is anything else posted that proves you to be a true tool of the left. I post data, you cut and paste lies. Obama didn't have a Republican Congress until 2015 and the Republicans have never been as radical as today's Democratic Party because I know. I grew up a JFK Democrat and that party of Pelosi, Schumer, AOC, Warren, Waters, Sanders is a far cry from what I had and those are the reasons I am no longer a Democrat today

You want a politician in the WH that tells you what you want to hear but to me I want a President who pisses off the establishment on both sides, sides that created the 22 trillion dollar debt and won't pass or even debate his budget proposals.. I will let the American people speak for me and based upon economic data I see Trump re-elected as the Democrats have no reason to vote FOR that party and only give you reasons to vote AGAINST Trump. The American people want something positive and it isn't today's Democratic Party

Totally off-topic for my post. Donald Trump is dysfunctional. He can't work with anybody.

Results are all that matters, not your perception and the American people are benefiting from the Trump policies and that drives people like you crazy. you want an American Idol President?? let me know where that exists? you want a President to tell you what you want to hear, that is what we had the last 8 years and the results are quite different, 9.3 trillion added to the debt, let me know when Trump even gets close

The American people have:
1. A skyrocketing deficit.
2. Reduced buying power, as the wealthy hoard their tax-cut profits.
3. A president with a bankrupt morality that will infiltrate society like a plague.
4. Racism and White Supremacy.
5. Political division like never seen before.
6. Stripping of environmental regulations.
7. etc, etc...

The American people have:
1. A skyrocketing deficit. That would be 2009-2016, 9.3 trillion added to the debt. You didn't care then but now it is an issue for you. Let me know when it reaches Obama levels
2. Reduced buying power, as the wealthy hoard their tax-cut profits. Which is why states have set records in revenue collection from sales, property, and charitable giving
3. A president with a bankrupt morality that will infiltrate society like a plague. Results matter, not your hate and perception
4. Racism and White Supremacy. That is a lie
5. Political division like never seen before. You mean since the election, what have the Democrats done to create unity?
6. Stripping of environmental regulations. States have EPA departments and California with the strictest EPA laws has the worst polluted cities in the nation
7. etc, etc...

so you have run out of cut and paste lies?

U.S. Posts Largest-Ever Monthly Budget Deficit in February

Shortfall rises 40% to $544 billion in first 5 months of fiscal year.

Another historical deficit record. Big thanks to Donnie T and the "Party of Fiscal Responsibility" whose campaign donors are certainly very happy.

Wonder if we will ever see the radical left and you touting what appears to be a budget surplus in the Month of March 2019 as debt at the beginning of the month was 22.029 trillion and at the end of the month was 22.027 trillion or a 2 billion dollar reduction.

Seems impossible for the radical left to post anything but negative anti Trump articles and never celebrate any positive news like the following

1. GDP Growth 2013 to 2018

2013 16784.9
2014 17521.7 736.8
2015 18129.3 607.6
2016 18707.2 577.9
2017 19485.4 778.2
2018 20494.1 1008.7

2016 GDP growth 1.6% vs 2.9% with those terrible tax cuts

Unemployment Rate 4.7% January 2017 vs. 3.8% today

Employed 152 million January 2017 to 157 million today

U-6 in January 2017 9.3% vs 7.3% today?

Part time for economic reasons, 5.7 million January 2017 vs. 4.4 million today?

African American unemployment 7.7% vs. 6.7% today?

Remember those wonderful Obama years leaving Trump with a 1.6% GDP growth, declining GDP dollars and let's not forget adding 9.3 trillion to the debt with much of that gov't spending in those GDP numbers

Then let's not forget the thread topic in Breaking news and gloom and doom predictions by the left

U.S. employers added 196,000 jobs Opens a New Window. in March, beating Wall Street's Opens a New Window. expectations for an increase of 180,000, likely quelling some fears about an impending economic slowdown on the heels of a measly month for job creation.

Truth is neither party has been a party of fiscal responsibility. Eisenhower was the last president to reside over a budget than actually lowered the national debt. But he accomplished that in only two of his eight years. No president since has seen even a single yearly decline in the national debt.

Since Reagan, presidents have gone hog wild. Ronnie increased the national debt 1.9 trillion, Bush I increased it 1.5 trillion in only four years, Bill Clinton added another 1.4 trillion. But his took 8 years instead of 4. Bush II added 4.7 trillion and Obama 9.3 trillion. Now Trump joins the parade with each president worse than the preceding one. I rounded off the above figures to the nearest tenth.

There's no way to blame one party or president, the House has to craft the budget and pass it. From 1955 through 1994 the house was under Democratic control. So the Democrats had to go alone with Reagan and Bush I. The Republicans held control of the house from 1995 through 2006. They had to go alone with Bill Clinton's spending and the first six years of Bush II's. The Democrats were back in control of the House for Bush's last two years and Obama's first two followed by a GOP house for Obama's last six and Trump's first two.

The tax cuts in my opinion were the last thing this nation needed. What was needed was raising taxes and cutting spending in my opinion. The last time that was tried was tied to the 1993 tax increase which cut the yearly deficits from 399 billion 1993, down to 19 billion in 2000. It worked. Give Bill Clinton and the Republican congress credit for accomplishing that.

More trolling. Republican presidents are bad for deficits! They have a real inability to work with Congress to balance budgets, even if the Congress is controlled by their own Party! How stupid is that! Trump's first 2 years - a case in point - skyrocketing deficits!!!

Cut and past post again, typical. What Democratic Congressman is willing to work with this President? Skyrocketing deficits, 8 years, 9.3 trillion in deficits added to the debt, great job Obama. Trump one year 800 billion deficit, March 2019 SURPLUS!!!

You really have a lot of nerve talking about skyrocketing deficits today while ignoring the deficits Obama generated in 8 years with his best year being 600 billion dollars but that isn't skyrocketing in that liberal world of yours. Trump's first budget year added 128 billion to the last deficit and now that is skyrocketing to you when almost all that was due to interest expense and entitlement spending increases?

You really believe you have any credibility claiming that the American people who had no problem with the 9.3 trillion Obama added now all of a sudden are going to get upset over a President increasing the deficit by 128 billion dollars to generate the following results?

1. GDP Growth 2013 to 2018

Deficit is heading over $1 Trillion under Trump. Last time it hit those numbers was the after the worst presidential pass-on since the Great Depression - Bush/Cheney. Despite your age, you are obviously not educated.

I could care less about your thousands of posts stating the same crap over and over again. How about you use that big brain of yours, that 200 million dollar mind, and explain exactly how you would fix whatever it is that resembles a tick sucking the blood out of Murica. Use the budget numbers, you know, expenses v revenue. Come on, you are such a hot shot, let us have the conservative budget for 2020. I sure hope you whack about 700 billion out of the 2020 budget, that is your wet dream is it not Hacksaw Reynolds?

Then I ask him to give us the details on his remedy for his mindless fascination with drivel given to him by some right wing philanthropic neanderthal. Crickets. Not a single peep out of this miscreant pursuer of truth, justice and the American way.
