Trump Is Attempting To Achieve Largest Federal Deficit EVAH!

[g5000]

These Are Not Serious People​

​

The party of deficit-busting is about to blow a multi-trillion dollar hole in federal revenues—and paper it over with a budgetary gimmick.​

As they stumble toward a budget bill, GOP lawmakers are also working to renew the tax cuts package from the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. As originally passed, those cuts were temporary—a necessity to make the budgetary math add up at the time. But because current law plans for them to expire, renewing them would (per traditional accounting rules) blow a brand new hole in the federal budget, spiking deficits by hundreds of billions of dollars a year. This will all come at a time when Republicans are trying to posture as though they’re finally ready to get serious—no fooling this time—about the debt.

So how do Republicans hope to surmount this messaging hurdle? By lying, mostly.

The current budget framework, approved by the Senate last week and by the House on Wednesday, takes an approach to assessing its impact on the deficit you might charitably call novel. Rather than scoring the framework on a “current law” baseline—as in, recognizing that the tax cuts are legally set to expire and being honest about the cost of renewing them in the budget framework—Republicans are using a “current policy” baseline: assessing the budget framework in contrast with tax levels as they stand today.

Why make this change? Because it gives them permission to pretend that permanently renewing temporary tax cuts—which, again, had to be temporary to make the math work when they were originally passed—comes with a price tag of zero. It’s free real estate.

It’s hard to find an appropriate metaphor for how ridiculous this is, but Manhattan Institute economist Jessica Riedl took an admirable stab in the New York Times back in March. “Last year, despite being deeply in debt, I bought a $100,000 sports car. So next year, buying another $100,000 sports car is not irresponsible because I am merely spending the same amount of money as the year before,” she wrote. “And if I purchase ‘only’ a $70,000 car, then I should be congratulated for reducing my annual spending by $30,000.”


This is too much for even some Republicans to bear, thus House Speaker Mike Johnson had to cave and not allow the budget to come to a vote.

World Record Spender Donald Trump ordered the House to "close your eyes and get there."

Close your eyes and get there.

Who gives a damn if Trump is driving the country off the cliff in every way possible, amiright?

Remember DOGE was going to save us all taxpayer money? BWA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA! Priceless.



"The largest deficit increase in history".




If you were trying to hasten financial collapse of our country and bribe voters to go along with it, the strategy wouldn’t look much different than what Congress is doing today.

The big beautiful bill cuts taxes while keeping spending on an increasingly unsustainable trajectory.

BOOM.

 

[theHawk]

Congress is full of cucks too afraid to make the big cuts.

 

[g5000]

Here is exactly what is going to happen.

During the Obama years, the fake Right screamed every day about Obama's spending. Literally from his first day.

During the Trump years, these very same hypocrites lapsed into absolute deafening silence as Trump doubled the deficit, submitted the largest federal spending budget in US history, and spent like a drunken sailor in a whorehouse.

The usual response to these facts by the willfully stupid and blind is "Because Covid!"

But Trump did all these things BEFORE Covid as the hypocrites were stone silent.

During Covid, Trump actually demanded more stimulus spending than the Democrats.


So what is going to happen as Trump racks up a record deficit is...these same spineless, brainless, idiot, hypocrites will be struck dumb once again.

And they will await instruction from their propagandists as to how to blame the Democrats for all the wild spending when the GOP controls the Senate, the House, and the White House.

When Trump says, "Close your eyes and get there", he means it literally.

Close your eyes, rubes, while I spend your grandchildren into a third world nation.

 

[g5000]

Congress is full of cucks too afraid to make the big cuts.

"Close your eyes and get there."

That's Trump. And here you are, actually closing your eyes and directing the blame away from your idol!

Wow.

I just predicted this!

 

[g5000]

When Obama and Biden were in office, the fake Right attributed every last penny of the deficits to them directly.

When Trump is running up the debt, it's somebody else's fault dammit!

How DO they stand the stench of their own hypocrisy?

"Close your eyes and get there."

 

[pknopp]

Trump has the most beautiful deficit ever..........that noted, the alternative choices are slim where the deficits are concerned.

I give the few Republican hold outs props for holding on to their principles (unless and until they do not).

Cutting deficits to zero is the simplest thing in the world to do. All you have to do is ban tax expenditures. That's $1.6 trillion in annual savings right there.

Then we just need to raise the Social Security and Medicare eligibility ages to 70 and index it to 9 percent of the population going forward. We are living longer, we should be working long.

So there you go. These two simple things would provide a surplus like you wouldn't believe.

I give the few Republican hold outs props for holding on to their principles (unless and until they do not).

Holdouts usually want something for their districts. It's called a "get" on the Hill.

I don't believe there are any Republicans with spines any more. They were all run out of town by the rabid mob, at the direction of the Toddler-in-Chief.

 

[elektra]

In other words, if I keep more of my money you think that drives up the federal debt.

Takes a lot of words, bullshit, when you can't say what you mean

The more time we give him to do this, the more damaged we'll be.

You type stuff without proving anything.
The stock market dipped because of concerns for new tariffs and a possible trade war with China.
Chuckie Schumer was whining about China since 2005.
But no one had the guts to fix the mess except Trump.
DOGE is fixing the Federal finances that never pass an audit.
Trump is fixing the unfair tariffs.
Democrats whine about a MS-13 criminal.
No one wants democrats back on power.

 

[kyzr]

Republicans are incapable of sound, responsible governance.

Republicans are fixing the mess Biden and the democrats left.

 

[Rocko]

No party has room to talk about the deficit or debt. Trump certainly has no room to talk.

If you keep more of your money because you pay less in taxes, then damn skippy, that drives up the federal debt. DUH

The right bothers you because they still had or have a voice. About 5% of the Progressives. Look at how it bothers you. When one of the comedy shills' cries over illegals and laughing at murders they commit you all have a good time. Progs do not even talk about the ghettos anymore that they lame Republicans for, even though Progs control the purse strings. Go to Prog cities and 90% of city budgets with police, fire, medical, dept.of children, etc., etc. are spent on ghettos. And the people living within those areas have notices a shift of resources due to illegals getting them. Progs love them some misery.
