U.S. government deficit down 17 percent from same period a year ago

Dec 10, 2021 4:36 PM EST 

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. budget deficit totaled $356.4 billion in the first two months of the budget year, down 17% from the same period a year ago thanks to a sharp jump in government revenues that offset a smaller increase in spending. 

In its monthly budget report, the Treasury Department said Friday that the government’s deficit in October and November was $72.9 billion below the deficit in the same two months last year. The government’s budget year starts on Oct. 1. 

The improvement was due to government revenues rising at a faster pace than spending over the past two months. 

For the October-November period, tax revenues totaled $565.1 billion, 23.6% above revenues in the same period last year and a record for the first two months of the budget year.

Shocking - places are allowed to be open unlike a year ago when they weren't collecting taxes for closed businesses.  I guess its a good thing for the ole Gov to have businesses doing their best rather than sitting home doing nothing.

But wait, we need to spend TRILLIONS more!!

So you're really thanking Trump.  He's the reason the tremendous vaccine became available, allowing businesses to open back up, and therefore generate tax revenue again.  Yet again, Trump proves he's a WINNER!!!

So what you are parroting for us is that when liberal governments alow businesses to stay open they make money and pay taxes . There workers are not sitting home collecting glorified welfare checks but out making and spending money paying tax on all of it .  Fucking shocking who would have ever thought it ? 

Idiot

Says the moron that defended the history of Clinton rapes and was outraged whentrump said pussy.   
 

Dec. 11, 2018

A federal judge on Tuesday ordered the pornographic film actress Stormy Daniels to pay President Trump about $293,000 in legal fees and sanctions after her defamation suit against him was dismissed.

Mr. Trump’s lawyers had requested about $389,000 in legal fees, but the judge, S. James Otero of United States District Court in California, said the number of billable hours was “excessive” and cut the amount by 25 percent to about $292,000. Writing that Ms. Daniels “is already being deterred from filing meritless defamation claims,” Judge Otero ordered her to pay $1,000 in sanctions.

In a statement, one of Mr. Trump’s lawyers, Charles J. Harder, said, “The court’s order, along with the court’s prior order dismissing Stormy Daniels’ defamation case against the president, together constitute a total victory for the president, and a total defeat for Stormy Daniels in this case.”

On Tuesday afternoon, Ms. Daniels’s lawyer, Michael Avenatti, wrote on Twitter that Mr. Trump and his lawyer sought to “fool the public about the importance of the attorneys’ fees” — an effort he called “an absolute joke.”
