Our strike fighters and aircraft carriers can now get the parts they so desperately need, give it six months our CBO posting friend will be pissing and moaning louder than ever before. Much will occur that will cause him nausea, policy can be a bitch.

Committee For a Responsible Budget.
Here is one from Forbes.
But again I don't even know why you are debating this. We were running a $500-600 billion dollar deficit. Then issued a tax cut. Then tacked on another $500-600 billion in spending for the next two years.
And all of this is before the great wall or infrastructure deal. You think this is all fake? Seriously?

A)
How "all of this is going to play out..." They passed a budget. It played out.
B) Then why the Hillary quip? Gotta swing in with that instead of an argument other than the hilarious one above... I suppose.
C) After all the shit I've gotten on here from virtually everyone it's nice finally seeing some of these idiots beginning to see what they actually got. Christ even Tom is turning and I consider that SOB lunatic ( NO offense Tom). Never thought I'd say this but he's got more sense than you idiots.

Desperately needed because the Pentagon has already cut spending and waste to the bone.
Or not.
Quote:
The Pentagon has buried an internal study that exposed $125 billion in administrative waste in its business operations amid fears Congress would use the findings as an excuse to slash the defense budget, according to interviews and confidential memos obtained by The Washington Post.
Pentagon leaders had requested the study to help make their enormous back-office bureaucracy more efficient and reinvest any savings in combat power. But after the project documented far more wasteful spending than expected, senior defense officials moved swiftly to kill it by discrediting and suppressing the results.
The report, issued in January 2015, identified “a clear path” for the Defense Department to save $125 billion over five years. The plan would not have required layoffs of civil servants or reductions in military personnel. Instead, it would have streamlined the bureaucracy through attrition and early retirements, curtailed high-priced contractors and made better use of information technology.

Even Rush and Trump admit what's happening but okay buddy... wait and see...

Probably would have been better for the country. A lot less gets done when one party has the White House and the other has Congress, and that's usually a good thing.
The GOP Congress would certainly never have given Hillary anything near this budget.

1. stupid idea
2. stupider idea
3. not such a bad idea
Hey,here' a thought.
Divide the deficit by the number of DACAs.
That is the price for them to stay here.
Win Win

Whatever you say pal. Keep making shit up though...whatever gets you to "being right" for a change, I guess.
Because that's what is most important to you...I mean, I can't believe you came crawling back here after disappearing all that time when you were so dead wrong.
But now that "you're right" for a change (and I'm not even convinced that you are, about anything you think you're "right" about), you come in here and stomp around like a total arrogant son of a bitch.
Congrats man...you win!

Maybe there should be a national sales tax, so that the 30-40 million 'visitors' to this country can pay for some/more of their upkeep.

If I'm wrong, should I run away and hide for a few months until I can come up with something I'm correct about again?

I like the guy because of a list of things he will do, so far so so good. Maybe those that are so pissed off should invest in . . . . . . . . .
