Mainecat Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Conservatives my ass....... The federal deficit ballooned at start of new fiscal year, up 77 percent from a year before Source: The Washington Post By Damian Paletta March 5 at 2:57 PM The federal budget deficit ballooned rapidly in the first four months of the fiscal year amid falling tax revenue and higher spending, the Treasury Department said Tuesday, posing a new challenge for the White House and Congress and they prepare for a number of budget battles. The deficit grew 77 percent in the first four months of fiscal year 2019 compared with the same period one year before, Treasury said. The total deficit for the four month period was $310 billion, Treasury said, up from $176 billion for the same period one year earlier. “It’s big tax cuts combined with big increases in spending when they already had big deficits,” said former Senate Budget Committee Chairman Kent Conrad (D-N.D.). “So guess what, it’s craziness!” When Republicans seized control of the House of Representatives during the Obama administration, lawmakers and White House officials embarked on a number of strained negotiations to try and reduce the gap between spending and tax revenue.

ActionfigureJoe Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 The Wall Street journal recently had an article that stated the tax cuts unleashed the economy. Now I read that warren buffet is no longer concerned about rising deficits. How many times do the experts need to be wrong before someone notices that they’re not experts at all?

That’s so 2016. It is weird that our drama teacher is reducing our deficit and the “successful Businessman” to our South has increase yours. What’s Trump spending it all on? He defeated ISIS in 30 days didn’t he? He had a healthcare plan that was going to cover everyone at a fraction of the cost. That should have helped the economy.
