Under which POTUS did we see the lowest annual rate of growth of federal spending since 1960?We'll see I guess. Sounds like a good start, but we'll only know for sure after time has past and we can actually see less, or more, overall spending/debt and whether government grows or shrinks. I sure as hell am hoping for the latter, but again, we'll see.
Not interested in your trivia. Not interested in slowing the growth of federal spending, I'm interested in shrinking government to the confines of the Constitutional powers it was originally granted.
Because you don't know what the fuck you are talking about and are floating in pie-in-the sky fantasies.
It is not realistic to expect reduction in nominal$ government spending amid ever expanding, aging population.
it is especially not possible with all the military and stimulative government spending (now with a side of puny discretionary spending cuts) Trump ran on.
Your "realistic" scenario is fiscally unsustainable, as even the most cursory reading of history would reveal.
But I'm sure you know better.
Yea, pass.
Again, YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT, we don't need $nominal reduction in spending to have long term sustainable budget because revenues are growing as economy expands. All we need is long term spending to grow at slower rate than receipts.
