And the democratic candidates are talking about adding more treats. You think the debts bad now, wait until one of them gets into the WH.

Why are you mad at the party that isn't in power over our shitty spending now?

You ever stop and ask if the economy is so great now why are our deficits so gigantic? Shouldn't they be getting smaller not bigger?

I know we are on the same page here. With an economy like this, we should be REDUCING the deficit, not adding a Trillion a year.

Things will go bad once again, and we'll have another recession. Then what?

This isn't a "Party" argument. This is an "everybody" argument. Congress has to fix the spending; and the lessening of our government reaching into the pockets of its citizens the better.

VA Healthcare is a joke, and they want 330 million people to believe that Govt healthcare in this country is a viable reality that will be successful? Come on. I know you know better than that.

Not even close, but he did have the Apology Tour of all time.
Come to think of it, the ONLY one.

And the biggest FRAUD of a Nobel Peace Prize.
I can only assume they thought he was getting the PIECE prize.

Then why are we running larger deficits with a much stronger economy?

That is a double whammy unfortunately.

When the tide turns, and Americans are in debt and can't afford their bills, then the economy tanks even further.

Credit Card, Auto, and Student Loan debt are at ridiculous highs. Yes, I know, inflation and time will make it higher, but the curve on these debts with a booming economy aren't sustainable.

We may have curbed the housing debt crisis of crap loans a decade ago, but we haven't curbed the other debt. Especially the CC debt.

Draining the swamp costs money.
Dems throwing tons of it way with investigations after investigation that never amount to anything. Maybe you should "put the screws to them" and get some answer for us.

Let us know......

And consumer debt is skyrocketing into the stratosphere. With the "great economy" and the 'record employment'...one would think that the general public would be slowly lessening their personal debt burden.

If Trump doubles the debt during his 8 years, we will really be in trouble. Unless the dims 'open border policy' doubles the population and most of them have jobs rather than collecting government benefits.

Or even worse, triples the debt like Reagan did.

CBO increases* budget deficit estimate for 2019 to $960 bln from $896 bln in May; sees GDP up 2.3% this year, averaging 1.8% growth

*CBO is late on this change; most expected a number around $1 trillion
