Trump Is Attempting To Achieve Largest Federal Deficit EVAH!

[JimH52]

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.

But...but...DOGE....musk.....

The most cost bering time of a pandemic...

No, nope.

 

[jknowgood]

Bidens debt was roughly the same as Trumps before him.

Both major failures.

But Biden saved us! Lol

 

[Man With A Plan]

You should know.

BTW COVID was only about 10 months of his first failed presidency.

Every year the budget deficit increased under shitler!

You obviously don't know...yet you're here talking shit.

 

[Man With A Plan]

Trump DOUBLED the deficit BEFORE Covid.

But, as usual, you asslickers are struck blind when Republicans spend more than Democrats.

As usual...you don't have a clue what you're talking about! Look at the graph for deficits by the year and tell me that Trump was the problem! You're full of shit, G5000.

 

[Crepitus]

ban tax expenditures

The billionaires would never go for it.

 

[Contumacious]

We need a military, we spent way too much on turning men into girls while we quit building submarines.

I have no problem with turning men into an elite fighting force capable of engaging in unconventional warfare .

But we must enter a war , specially a NUCLEAR WAR , when it is absolutely necessary. Specially when we have the Socialist Demon Rats acting as a treasonus seditious domestic terrorists .

 

[g5000]

The billionaires would never go for it.

Oh, I know. And our politicians will never go for it because the bribes they receive from billionaires fill their re-election war chests.

The House has a 98 percent re-election rate. The Senate 80 percent.

Ban tax expenditures and you have simultaneously reformed campaign finance.

If a billionaire can't bribe a politician to put a carve-out in the tax code, then he isn't going to donate to any politicians.

 

[g5000]

Yup. This is really sad. Elon is not going to be able to find enough fraud to compensate: President Trump is been held hostage by 22 GOP Senators who are warmongers, neocrazies and manipulated by WAR PROFITEERS

Federal Spending Is Only Going Up: Trump Pushes Trillion-Dollar Defense Budget - LewRockwell

President Donald Trump last week announced new plans for a $1 trillion defense budget in 2026. Trump bragged about his big plans for spending ever larger amounts of taxpayer funds, stating at a meeting with Israeli President Benjamin Netanyahu that “We’re going to be approving a budget, and I’m...

I have to give Trump one thing.

He has never promised to cut spending.

He doesn't need to.

Because he knows none of his cult will complain when he adds trillions and trillions and trillions to our debt. He knows they will remain silent as the grave.

 

[g5000]

We need a military, we spent way too much on turning men into girls while we quit building submarines.

You spend too much time worrying about turning men into girls.

You have been deliberately programmed to do this. It diverts you from shit that actually matters.

As for needing a military and Trump pushing for a record $1 trillion military budget, defense contractors all over America are popping champagne.

Champagne paid for by you and me.

I don't see DOGE boi going after waste, fraud, and abuse among his fellow billionaires who are bilking the hell out of defense contracts, do you?

 

[g5000]

No, nope.

All these fools can do is post a laughing tag or Fake News tag in the face of the facts they are embarrassed for not knowing until now.

They were so enraptured by trannies, they didn't notice Trump adding trillions to the debt and doubling the deficit right in front of their mouth-breathing faces.

They noticed Obama. They noticed Biden. They didn't notice the biggest over-spender of all.

Elektra is an obvious feminine name.

Also, this:

70 years ago this month – on October 10, 1950 – 19-year-old college student Jac Holzman started a record label in his dorm room. He decided to call it Elektra after a Greek demigoddess, and turned an M on its side to create the signature E for the label’s first logo. With that, one of the most pioneering, revered, and influential companies in music history was born.

You spend too much time worrying about turning men into girls

You spend too much time in your imagination.

You have no idea if I worry or how much time I spend if any.

Typical democrat tyrant, dictating what everyone is suppose to believe or what we actually think

Only assholes and bigots make your claims, you are both

 

[Mac1958]

I don't see DOGE boi going after waste, fraud, and abuse among his fellow billionaires who are bilking the hell out of defense contracts, do you?

And we won't, of course.

It's a little tough to be surprised by anything at this point, but the way this is all being pulled off in broad daylight is remarkable. It illustrates how America has been lulled to sleep by our success.

O'rly?

Democrats and their gender confusion. Democrats don't know which bathroom to use yet they think they can govern

Men competing as girls proves Democrats are here to destroy society

Of course, the democrat party of men in dresses in girls locker rooms and bathrooms are angels who would never lie about a thing

Opinions, your opinion would give us democrats, men fighting women in boxing, men swimming against girls in competition, drag queens teaching 5 year old.

Too bad I pissed you off so bad and that your are of such low intelligence you show what democrats think of women. I bet you wish you could beat me up. That is why you support trans fighting women in sports

I could go on.

As I said, you have been deliberately programmed to obsess over "men turning into girls" so you are distracted from the shit that actually matters.




You know what will actually destroy our society? It isn't trannies.

It's the debt, and your propagandists work very hard to keep you stupid and blind toward Trump's contributions to our destruction.

LOOK! A TRANNY! EEK!

Speaking of men turning into girls, how ironic you, a transphobic bigot, chose a woman's name for your username, eh?

That's positively delicious!

It's karma!

Yet, Trump has been the president a few seconds whearas democrats and rinos been over spending since the last century

You blame trump for debt democrats created

Um...honey?

In his first term, Trump added $8 trillion to the debt in literally half the time it took Obama.

You see what I mean? While you were obsessing over trannies, you were stupid and blind to Trump adding to our destruction!

TA-DAAAAAAAAAA!

 

[Hollie]

Trump has brought this country to near ruin in record speed.

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

Trump has certainly contributed to ruining your life but let’s be honest, you’re a retrograde, self-loathing type who thrives on self -loathing and despair.

Um, pumpkin, Trump spending was outdone by Biden and the spend crazy dims.

Remember the Green New Boondoggle? Rember the $42 Billion for nationwide internet access that has connected no one?

How about those millions of nationwide EV charging stations? There were what, about eight total built?

As your party of domestic terrorists are burning down Tesla dealerships, who is going to build EV charging stations?
