And what % of Obamas 10 trillion was interest on the Iraq war????

I wonder if any Bush or Trump fans ever wondered why it took the USA so long to end the Afghan and Iraq wars.

10 trillion no don't think that will happen not even close 

If the article is to be believed 1 trillion in 6 month is a faster rate than Obama.  

I know you are devoutly stupid so you won't understand but I'll say it anyway.

Obama took over at a time when businesses were failing, people were losing their jobs and houses. Therefore taxes were going to be lower both corporate and personal.  That decreases revenue and increases debt.  Add to that two wars started and not finished by a couple of Republican chuckleheads and increased payments of social programs because of the aforementioned recession, and adding to the debt is inevitable. 

The deficit decrease each year Obama was in office, evidently it is increasing under Trump and you aren't fighting two wars and a recession. 

Cue the Trumpster "I don't care about debt, I got a tax cut. I think or I was told I did   ahhhhh fuck it, I hate Mexicans and Syrians "

"There is still a lot of thinking on the right that if big corporations are happy, they’re going to take the money they’re saving and reinvest it in American workers. In fact they bought back shares, a few gave out bonuses; there’s no evidence whatsoever that the money’s been massively poured back into the American worker.”

— Sen. Marco Rubio

.7paytoplay thinks that is BS and it’s just a matter of time until it happens. He also thinks the debt isn’t a big deal anymore. He is like a wolfie/racer hybrid these days.

Buying back shares benefits the American people who own that stock.

It's literally hard to comprehend some shit getting posted in here anymore.  Or, maybe I'm just getting bored with it.  It used to be more humorous I guess.  Now, I sometimes feel I'm just throwing rocks at the short bus.

The CEOS and upper management make out the most with buy backs.....you know this. It stagnates wage growth and wage inequality too.

Only 54% of Americans are invested in the market.

Trumps tax cuts given by all taxpayers only benefit a few.

Buying back paper does not lead to new facilities and jobs in the US.

— Sen. Marco Rubio

On Friday’s “PBS NewsHour,” New York Times columnist David Brooks said that the GOP tax bill is working better than he thought it would and the evidence “seems to be that what the Trump people told us would happen is happening, that companies are reinvesting the money.”

Brooks stated, “I was against the Trump tax cuts. But the early evidence is that they’re working better than I thought. And so, in the first quarter, among S&P companies, capital expenditures are up 39 percent. That’s a seven-year high. That’s far higher than a lot of us thought. Stock buybacks, which is just giving people — to shareholders, that’s only 16 percent. So the evidence from just the first quarter seems to be that what the Trump people told us would happen is happening, that companies are reinvesting the money. … And so, it’s important to oppose what’s opposable and what’s reprehensible and offensive. And we’ve been doing that, as I say, for three years. But it’s also important to see reality. And the more serious opposition will, frankly, be on disastrous policies or not disastrous policies.”
