No shit...Pelosi has been chatting up Mnuchin on the phone about this. She doesn’t like Mick Mulvaney. 😂

Tax revenues are down. Can any Trumper tell me why?

First and foremost total tax revenue is not down.  

Because of the switch to cash method for small business' tax revenue was not as high as it could have been.   Massive change.   Revenue on these business' will be back up next year.

Decrease military spending, by a at least half(at least), primarily by stop going to war unless we are directly and physically attacked. Decrease spending on social programs. Use the money to improve/repair our infastructure, pay down our debt & balance our budget. Our own fiscal behavior is our biggest threat to our national security.

Of course tax revenues are down. When you have 12 million illegals , 1/2 of them working for cash, employed by people working for cash, what would you expect? 

are you implying no taxes are paid?

That's not what ive been told by members here. They are tax paying illegals. lol

'merica must spend ourselved dry to be the biggest baddest military force on the planet

 

 

SMH,  social programs overall are far more important than the military and destroying foreign countries.  in both cases take the fraud and abuse out of them and there is way more than enough money but the military needs a 20% cut over a decade not more toys they don't need.

Quote

The Congressional Budget Office reports in its April budget review that revenues rose 2% to $2.041 trillion in the first seven months of fiscal 2019 from a year ago. Payroll tax revenue rose 4.7% due in part to rising employment and wages.

Cut all spending

I think really for alot of those social programs they should just take them away from the federal govt and let the states do their own. Take the tax burden off of the fed and then people can decide what states they want to live in...

Another govt shutdown could be the trigger that starts the recession

It would affect the market for sure, always does. It'll affect the private sector too, economic uncertainty always causes corps to clam up with the spending and growth. Been there done that.
