Economy US Deficit highest in 6 years ...and increasing!

What % woudl you have to cut military spending to balance the US' books?

Not a be all end all solution and I’m not privy to all the details but I think cutting 20% wouldn’t make us less safe.

I wouldn’t give rich people and corporations tax cuts either

Roughly 100%... the budget can't be balanced by cutting defense alone, but it's a good place to start. Taxes need to be raised as well.

Agree with all of this. Especially taxes on people making over 1 million per year. Raise them up real high.
 
Blame companies like Avance Technology Services, Alorica etc for always holding an extra 2 weeks pay, thereby ensuring folls stay on welfare and stuck in a shitty job.

Yall wanna blame someone? Start with whomever runs these companies.
 
Nah. Democrats by and large want a moderate candidate who all Americans can get behind. Show me in the last year or so when Trump acted like the president of all people.

Good people on both sides. Trump, more than any president I can remember plays to his base and his base only. That is where the division comes from

You mean, a fucking Democrat? How convenient. It's clear as day they have no intentions of a moderate candidate being a leader.
 
The winners are rich people who benefit from policy that would not pass if everyone focused on policy and didn't just vote down party lines out of fear and hatred.

Or their representatives didn't vote for their own self interest.
 
Oh and these things dont contribute to division at all. No siree Bob

Only if you are emotionally unstable.

No, just a moderate, you act as if Trump didnt primaried with a shitload of other republicans and he was the only choice.

There were plenty of choices in the republican early primaries, people just chose to stick with the people who want to fuck everyone in the ass. American politics would be great comedy if it wasnt that sad.

There weren't any good candidates imo outside of Kasich. Even then, he wasn't a great one.
 
Typical libtard thread. Blame the deficit on tax cuts and not on an over bloated government. All of a sudden the socialists come out and act like they want a balanced budget. Sorry TS, anyone that works a decent job is over taxed even after the tax cuts.

There are times when increasing the debt is a good thing -- when there's a lot of people willing to work but unable to find jobs. It was under those circumstances that Obama increased the debt. There's zero point of increasing the debt when unemployment was as low as it was when Trump signed the tax cut.
 
Timing of this thread was good. Now we have him saying the "Nickle Plan". See how that pans out.

Congress just reauthorized the defence budget like almost 10% more than the Pentagon even requested I think? There's a start.
 
According to numerous sites, such as this one, the deficit has been increasing under Trump.

What is Trump spending all this money on? Didn’t he make cuts to Social Security, Medicare and the EPA?

This site claims Trump has spent an increase of $200 billion on the military.

Anyone know why else the decicit is increasing? Maybe doing cuts to the income tax and a tax cut on businesses might also be a factor.

If you know any info that I’ve missed, please share.
 
Deficits are exploding under President Trump. Some believe it was intended to drive up deficits to push for massive cuts in social security and Medicare. How by scaring the crap out of people while giving the top .01 percent a huge tax cut win win for the super wealthy.
 
Revenues have increased under Trump: FY2018 total revenue is estimated at $3.654 trillion. That's higher than FY2016 (Obama's last full year), when revenue was $3.268 trillion.


However, expenditures have also increased under Trump, from $3.853 trillion in FY2016 to an estimated $4.094 trillion in FY2018.

Both parties have more or less gotten all the spending they have wanted since Trump took office. Democrats have mostly gotten the domestic spending increases they wanted, and Republicans have mostly gotten the military spending increases they wanted.
 
Ah fuck, are you going to try to tell me this shit aint tricklin?
I know how this works we give to the rich and it trickles down to the rest of us. Any other spin on the economy is fake news and probably a false flags planted by Hillary and Obama. The Republicans have expenditure for important stuff and the Democrats waste every penny they have stolen from the rest of us. They literally steal from our paychecks.
Fuck health care and social security we need to spend more money sending troops to the open border so they can shoot bare foot brown people for throwing sticks and stones.
