The National Debt went from 20 trillion to 22 trillion under Donald Trump's admin in the first two years in office. The majority of the increase was due to the tax breaks given to the wealthiest Americans. Far from decreasing the debt as Trump claimed, the tax break has caused just the opposite.
What happened to being conservative on the right? Will the cuts be extended even further?
How do you know? Collections for all of the second year are not in yet, and certainly the data isn't.
Are you using your "I hate Trump!" crystal ball again?
It was well reported on most cable news shows, but if you haven't seen it you're probably watching Fox or another rightwing reporting site, Dan. Need a link ?
And as I've repeatedly told you Dan, I'd have to have a smidgen of respect for the cretin before I could hate him.
Yeah. I'd like to see a link showing all govt. income received from all sources from Jan 1 2018 to Dec. 31, 2018. Got one?
I thought I'd share these links to the National Debt issue since Trumpers refuse to believe facts:
1. http://www.usdebtclock.org/
2. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/under-dona … time-ever/
3. https://www.treasury.gov/resource-cente … -debt.aspx
The last one is from Trump's own Treasury Department...it will give you the background and #s supporting the calculation.
Enjoy.
Thanks, CJ! They don't want to read the links though.
Hi Randy...What happened to being conservative on the right?
I sincerely think Trump happened, and Nothing Else Matters. Unfortunately, I think this is the answer for too many questions these days as there is still that crowd. The Metallica song comes to mind, and that's kind of creepy when referring to a President.
That debt will be passed on because Trump was sent by God to make it happen.
Creepy Multi-Millionaire and Billionaire Weasels like this winner named Steve Mnuchin are the only beneficiaries of Bozo Trump's / republicans Corporate Welfare Tax Cut Scam: a multi trillion dollar abominable republican act which shifted our money away from Americans and into the awaiting arms of the filthy rich while EXPLODING our deficit:
Snowflakey CONservatives whine, cry and go batty when an American in need applies for welfare, or unemployment or any other constitutionally mandated safety net but not word one from any of them when Bozo Trump, Con-Man republican Paul Ryan and republican "Mutt" McConnell who according to the polls, is SINKING in his approval ratings in the 20's , conspire and successfully implement a multi trillion dollar Corporate Welfare Tax Cut SCAM so Wall Street CEOs and the filthy rich among us can unjustifiably rake in MORE of our wealth, box up the cash and ship it to foreign lands: CRIMINAL:

Why do the liberals insist on more deficit spending when the nation is BROKE?Why do the liberals REFUSE to understand that the deficit spending MUST be stopped or the nation will become premanently bankrupt?

Let me be consistent and bring up the topic of our debt, which was doubled under Obama’s 7 years to $20 trillion and now under the first year of the Trump administration is rising to $20.5 trillion. It is Congress’s mandate to control spending. Let’s hope they have some backbone and say no to...
