US Debt Is Now $23 Trillion And Climbing

[mdk]

Congress only controls spending when it’s my guy spending a like sailor on shore leave. It’s a real shame we can’t harness the stupidity here as an energy source.

Lol
We have passed the point of no return decades ago, socialist entitlement programs dominate federal spending… Always have

Nah. We just need to elect more Republicans b/c this time really mean it when comes to fiscal responsibility.

 

[Mac-7]

When the GOP took over Congress in January 2015, the federal deficit was $439 billion. They immediately set to work doubling it.

Budget deficit smashes $1 trillion mark, the highest in seven years

When Trump was sworn in, the federal debt was $19.9 trillion.

As of this moment:

Trump: I will eliminate U.S. debt in 8 years


This past fiscal year, Trump spent more than anyone in the history of the Universe. He exceeded Obama's worst year of spending by a trillion dollars.

So much for being the party of small government.


Before you try to claim it isn't Trump's fault for some reason, you should know that I will find your posts where you blamed Obama for every penny of the debt accrued on his watch.

Before you try to say "Let me know when he's got more debt than Obama" bullshit hypocrisy, remember that you pseudocons started in on Obama's spending habit right at the beginning. You did not wait until he had beaten Bush's record.

So i guess all you're left with is to blame darkies and Muslims.

What is your plan to fix the problem?

 

[Rustic]

The debt is far too large to ever be paid back.... dumbass

Well that's not true....and if it were we would have Obama to thank for it.....tripled the debt in 8 years.....

Yes, he did.

Boom!

Even better, Obama did not TRIPLE the debt. But Rustic rogered up on it anyway.

BOOM!

Lol
You do realize Congress controls the purse strings? and Congress is controlled by career politicians and the deep state.

I've posted my plan literally hundreds of times, if not thousands. Probably thousands.

But what the hell, I'll do it again.

1. Eliminate all tax expenditures. This alone would save $1.4 trillion a year, providing a surplus. Then we can cut tax rates for everyone and pay down the debt. Once the debt is paid off, we can lower tax rates even more. Added bonus: Entities earning identical incomes would pay identical taxes! Extra added bonus: Special interests would no longer be able to bribe politicians to put tax expenditures in the tax code, thus removing the incentive to bribe them. Instant campaign finance reform.


2. Raise the Social Security and Medicare eligibility age to 70, and index to 9 percent of the population going forward. We are living DECADES longer than our ancestors. We should be working longer. Common sense.


It's very, very simple to balance the budget, lower tax rates, and pay off the debt. But our crooked politicians have the gullible rubes' attention getting all hot and bothered about Mexicans.

You should look at other posts that I said we passed the point of no return decades ago. Socialists entitlement programs dominate all spending and debt

 

[mdk]

Every single time.

Every single damned time.

When the tards try to dodge blaming Trump for the deficit and the growing debt by blaming Congress, every single time, without fail, they have a history of blaming Obama for the debt acquired on his watch.

The stench of their hypocrisy reeks to high heaven.

That’s the beauty of being a zealot. You never have to live by the standards you set for others.

if we dont reduce spending you will never raise taxes high enough to balance the budget much less pay down the debt

I bet you thought you had me, didn't you. You thought I didn't have a plan. Too bad for you.

As for deficits, they were DECREASING under Obama, right up until the GOP got the reins of Congress again. Then they started INCREASING.

Then Trump came along and DOUBLED the deficit. Together, the GOP and Deficit Donald more than doubled the deficit.

Trump exacerbated the deficit by increasing spending and cutting taxes without a way to pay for the tax cut.

And the last time the GOP owned Congress and the White House under Bush, they took a balanced budget and blew it all to hell.


You have to be one very special retard to believe the GOP's horseshit about being for balanced budgets and small government.

ACTIONS speak far louder than WORDS, and yet the rube herd STILL hasn't woken up to the fact they are being massively hoaxed.

We get the politicians we deserve.

I wanted to address this specifically.

The federal budget does not have to rise every year. I just explained exactly how spending can decrease by $1.4 trillion, thereby providing a surplus which could be used to lower tax rates for everyone and pay down the debt.

What a hack.

 

[rightwinger]

Auto workers had to accept a major pay cut under the buy out......doesn’t sound like UAW benefitted

GM stock had dropped to 75 cents a share. Couldn’t drop much further

yes, obozo's deal ended up screwing the workers and the shareholders.

Shareholders saw their stock rise from 75 cents to over $30 a share

that would have happened faster under a structured bankruptsy. Trump's tax policy also helped because car companies moved factories and jobs back to the usa and expanded factories increasing jobs and equity.

No it wouldn’t.

They would have been placed under a receivership with asset liquidation
The collapse would have brought down suppliers and the whole automotive sector and cost hundreds of thousands of jobs

totally wrong. the new smaller companies would have been more efficient, the supplier base would have been just fine because the number of cars being built would probably have increased.

a structured bankruptcy would have been the best thing for the country, the companies, the workers, and the suppliers---------------but not the UAW and its money stream to the DNC. It was all politics, not business or economics.

Small auto companies don’t work
That is why we no longer have Studebaker, Hudson, Rambler or Packard

See? This is how I know you rubes will never hold your own team's feet to the fire.

Trump absolutely depends on your submissiveness.

"B-b-b-b-b-b-b-but Democrats" is the argument of a lickspittle who points out the splinter in their neighbor's eye while ignoring the beam in their own.

Dems have held the House a while now, you don’t seem to be able to address the question. One could just as easily say that “B-b-b-b-b-b-but DrumpF” is the argument of all leftwingers, while ignoring the beam in their own eye.

 

[theHawk]

pointing out the hypocrisy of dems is not ignoring anything

Tu quoque fallacy. It's a pathetic attempt to excuse your total silence over Trump's record spending and trillion dollar deficits.

YOU are the hypocrite. How DO you stand your own stench?

no hypocrisy here. I have consistently opposed deficit spending and raising the debt no matter who is in office.. the hypocrites are fools like you and winger who ignore the FACT that obama increased the debt by 9 trillion dollars in 8 years, and you said nothing, and even today you praise the worst president in history.

YOU ARE THE HYPOCRITES, EVERY FRICKEN ONE OF YOU.

I've never once seen you complain about Trump's record spending, hypocrite.

In fact, you do the opposite. Every single time I have talked about Trump's spending, you immediately puke up a tu quoque to whine about the Democrats. Any time anyone criticizes Trump for any reason, you can be counted upon to show up with red herrings, tu quoques, false dichotomies and a whole basket of other logical fallacies.

Who the fuck do you think you are fooling?

then you haven't been listening, I have complained about every administration the has raised the debt. the jury is still out on Trump, but it looks like he too is going the wrong way.


can you now admit that obama added more debt than any president in history? and don't play % games, actual dollars added to the debt.

The jury is out on Trump? BWA-HA-HA-HA-HA!

Trump doubles the deficit to a trillion dollars, and he spent hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of billions dollars more than Obama's worst year of spending, you say the jury is still out.

Wow.

Just...wow.

How DO you stand the stench of your own hypocrisy?

It’s nice to see you have become a full fledged Tea Party member.

it does intil congress changes the law

The increase is about 2-3% automatically and is not counted as a budget increase

Its called baseline budgeting

Every. Single. Time.

A little over a year ago:

I've been posting this for years:

Democrats: Tax and spend
Republicans: Borrow and spend

Except Obama borrowed ten trillion.

Notice how you blamed OBAMA for EVERY PENNY of the debt accumulated on his watch, and not the Republican Congress.

Yeah.

You understand that the federal budget rises automatically every year do t you?

I wanted to address this specifically.

The federal budget does not have to rise every year. I just explained exactly how spending can decrease by $1.4 trillion, thereby providing a surplus which could be used to lower tax rates for everyone and pay down the debt.

it does intil congress changes the law

The increase is about 2-3% automatically and is not counted as a budget increase

Its called baseline budgeting

Just a dirty little secret that most Americans do not know

House Passes Bill to End Automatic Spending Increases

That does not explain Trump DOUBLING the deficit.

As I said, the deficit was DECREASING. Trump has skyrocketed it.

The best part of ‘but, but the House controls the purse stings’ crowd is they totally ignore the fact that GOP controlled the House for six of President Obama’s eight years in office.
