As Deficit Soars Toward $1 Trillion, Congress Shrugs and Keeps Spending

[BertramN]

.

For the same reason the Republican crooks gave the fat cats $1.5 trillion in deficit building tax cuts, the crooks are burning through as much borrowed cash as possible to justify stealing even more from the working and retired citizens of the U.S.

The Republican crooks have been eyeing the several trillion dollars in the Social Security Trust Fund for decades, as well as the money they can steal from Medicare recipients, while they increase the taxes on the Americans who can least afford it.

Happily, many of those who consistently vote Republican, the elderly who rely on both SS and Medicare will be the ones taking it in the shorts by Republican policies, along with those loyal GOP voters who are low and middle income.

Of course, these devoted Republican conservatives will naturally blame the Democrats for the loss of their SS and Medicare benefits and the more money that is taken from their paychecks. And, as usual, the Republican crooks will be laughing at these idiot conservatives for the suckers they are and have always been.

As always, thoughtful comments are welcome. Unfortunately, in the conservatives' responses to this thread we can expect only their typical nonsense, alternate facts, denial, and off-topic silliness (e.g. written posts, ratings, memes, etc.), to which any reply is a waste of time.

It’s Official=> President Trump Decreases the Debt to GDP Ratio in His First Year in Office – First Time in More than 50 Years!

January 28, 2018 by Jim Hoft

The higher a country’s debt to GDP ratio, the less healthy the country’s economy. With the GDP numbers released yesterday, President Trump’s policies have officially decreased the Debt to GDP ratio by 1.2% in the President’s first year in office.

In contrast, President Obama increased the US Debt to GDP ratio his first year in office by 14.5%. Obama increased the rate a total of 37% over his 8 years in office.

Since his inauguration President Trump has focused his efforts on the security of the country and on the prosperity of its economy. The results of his actions are taking shape.

Holy fucking bullshit Batman.

Trump did didly squat for GDP and it grew at a normal 2.5% rate for the year, exactly as was forecasted by CBO before Trump was even elected.

He also did exactly NOTHING to reduce spending. Deficit was up to 660 Billion for 2017.

With the tax-cuts deficits are forecasted to 1 Trillion dollars by 2020, two years earlier than prior estimates.

Let’s see,what tax receipts are before,projecting deficits. 3% growth erases any tax bill deficit.

Granny says, "Dat's right...

... dem politicians add to the debt...

... by increasin' dey's pension benefits...

... an' den retire an' collect dey's benefit...

... whilst drivin' the rest of us deeper in debt."

Dey oughta be a law against dat.

Which only goes to show that 8 years of crying about growing debt under Obama was nothing but bullshit partisan tears.

In your case it is the hypocrisy, irony needs a certain level of intelligence to grasp.

Could that be because of the fact that our debt is not growing at the rate it was under President Obama? More importantly, the percentage of our GDP is SHRINKING. Must pain you to your very soul!

The GOP tax bill hasn't been in effect long enough.

Hate to break it to you but Trump didn't enact any policies in his first year that would meaningfully impact the debt/deficit.

Why did you pretend you cared about the deficit/debt when Obama was president,

since you clearly don't now?

Actually, the debt grew faster last year than it had the previous 4 years. But, please do not let facts get in the way of your partisan zealotry.
