Trillion-Dollar Deficits Are Already Here. Thanks, Republicans!

Meanwhile Trump is hated by both parties and is vilified by all. Wake up.

His voters don't hate him in the least. Just being disappointed in one thing doesn't ruin him in out eyes. We aren't front runners. We admit Trump isn't perfect unlike the Obama Cultists.

Record revenues. Don't expect democrats to fix the spending problems.

Nobody is fixing the spending problem.

I like the British attitude-"The King is dead, Hail the king!"

Under Obama, many conservatives here complained about the debt/deficit, spending in a variety of sectors and most vocally, the costs associated with Obama's golf/travel etc...

Those who complained the loudest are now silent on the issue. They've applied a double standard...particularly when it comes to the costs associated with travel, golf, etc...

And under Reagan and under Bush and under that Rapist and under Bush (see how the Rapist is the pervert between the Bushes?) and under the fascist muslim pig from Kenya and now under Trump.

But conservatives are smart enough to know who's in charge of the spending.

The Congress.

The AMERICANS don't hate Trump.

We love the guy.

It's Rodents we hate.

Because we weren't "woke" in 2016. We've never been asleep.

I haven't paid a lot of attention to this board, not in years and years. Are you some kind of Splinter-Up-The-Butt "moderate" secret Hillary supporter?

I appreciate the comic relief you bring to the site.

When it comes to spending there’s a lot of hypocrisy on all sides. Everyone in Washington DC talks about how we need to control spending. I can’t remember the last time anyone supported any measure which even limited spending increases let alone cut spending.

Every time someone proposes to raise spending less than planned, Democrats portray that as “draconian cuts” and taking food from the mouths of the poor. So, a liberal carping about deficts and debt is ridiculous.

I'm not accusing any individuals. I'm simply recalling several threads about it when Obama was president and a very select few under Trump.

Not nearly as significant, but telling none the less, is an absence of threads criticizing Trump for his travel/golf expenses.

I remember dozens of threads criticizing Obama for golfing and travel costs. Even Trump criticized Obama for it. Trump has outdone Obama and is costing taxpayers more for his travel and golf than his predecessor. Yet I don't recall seeing one thread about it. Essentially it means they didn't really care about Obama's travel costs...it was just something to use against him.

Well, let's see if we can clear up your confusion.

That traitor Marxist muslim from Kenya....never attempted anything but betrayal, and he NEVER brought anything positive to show the Americans, so it's clear his trips and games were for his personal entertainment, not our advantage.

Obama IS a POS traitor, and always will be.

Trump is WINNING.

Why would anyone complain about minor expenses when the president is doing such an excellent job?

Is this some sort of performance art? A critique on hyper polarization and the perception that political rivals are unthinking cartoonish versions of exaggerated stereotypes?

Thought provoking.

Any who?

Here's what needs to be eliminated from the federal budget because Congress does not have the authority under Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution to regulate or finance them:

Education. At all levels. Only military trade schools would be allowed.

The Socialist Security Ponzi Scheme.

The various "welfare" scams, from AFDC to whatev.

Art. Freaking ART? Who thinks that's a properly authorized expenditure under the Constitution? HmmmM?

NPR, PBS. No way no how is that allowed.

The FCC. Nowhere in the Constitution is the government authorized to seize total control of a communications medium.

Health care. They had doctors in the 18th century. The Constitution did not allow Congress to fund them or regulate them.

Abortion. WTF is Congress doing MURDERING babies with our tax dollars? Not only is that not covered by Art. I, Section 8, it's forbidden by the Fifth Amendment.

Agriculture? The Constitution does not authorize Congress to regulate or subsidize FARMS, people.

Cut out the crap, and the national budget would show a massive surplus.
