    The U.S. deficit hit $984 billion in 2019, soaring during Trump era Spending increases, tax cuts, and political apathy fueled surge, and interest payments now near $400 billion

    The country’s worsening fiscal picture runs in sharp contrast to President Trump’s campaign promise to eliminate the federal debt within eight years.

    Promises made, promises kept. Oh wait...

    Nice crocodile tears as always.

    Where were you on this issue prior to Jan '17? That's what I thought.
    I was opposing tax cuts and happy to see modest tax increases enacted. Thanks for asking.
    LOL! Oh and I am so sure you democrats would have spent less and paid down the debt right? LOL!
    Maybe you gals can explain how one spends less while asking government to do more.
    The first step is to neuter the public unions

    Amiright?
    Cool. You saved what? $50 million? $100 million? Of the federal budget. Next idea to actually cut spending?
    Military, social security....
    Agreed on military. Let's do it. How do you plan to cut social security when that's a large voter block?
    You asked what I would cut. I told you.
    How would you cut SS Mike?
    Same way as cutting military spending. With a law and a budget.

    Are you intentionally playing dumb?

    Gee dumbfuck, that’s how spending is done. Laws and budgets. Change the fucking law. Unless you don’t want to solve the problem.

    Ok Mike. I'll play your idiotic game. What spending would you cut from SS?

    Too many people that don't belong. Social security is for a lot more than retirement and it's being abused. Old Octomom pulled in 2,200.00 per kid per month from SS. Claimed they had some type of disability. There's all kinds of abuse/fraud in all government programs. Many billions per year.

    When SS was started avg life expectancy was 58 and you didn’t start receiving benefits until 65. Now avg life expectancy is 79 and you can start receiving benefits at 62...

    Something needs to change...
    It's funny, everyone likes to bitch about cutting spending. But no one really wants to do it. Even food stamps, many people on food stamps are Republican. Only thing I can think on SS is cutting benefits from people who have a lot of income.
    Raise the “retirement” age
    Yeah and that's been done before.
    yet the ratio of beneficiaries to covered workers continues to decline.

    Exactly. Part of it is boomers retiring. And partly because low labor participation rates.

    The U.S. deficit hit $984 billion in 2019, soaring during Trump era Spending increases, tax cuts, and political apathy fueled surge, and interest payments now near $400 billion

    The country’s worsening fiscal picture runs in sharp contrast to President Trump’s campaign promise to eliminate the federal debt within eight years.

    Promises made, promises kept. Oh wait...

    Nice crocodile tears as always.

    Where were you on this issue prior to Jan '17? That's what I thought.
    I was opposing tax cuts and happy to see modest tax increases enacted. Thanks for asking.
    LOL! Oh and I am so sure you democrats would have spent less and paid down the debt right? LOL!
    Maybe you gals can explain how one spends less while asking government to do more.
    The first step is to neuter the public unions

    Amiright?
    Cool. You saved what? $50 million? $100 million? Of the federal budget. Next idea to actually cut spending?
    Military, social security....
    Agreed on military. Let's do it. How do you plan to cut social security when that's a large voter block?
    You asked what I would cut. I told you.
    How would you cut SS Mike?
    Same way as cutting military spending. With a law and a budget.

    Are you intentionally playing dumb?
    Gee dumbfuck, that’s how spending is done. Laws and budgets. Change the fucking law. Unless you don’t want to solve the problem.

    Ok Mike. I'll play your idiotic game. What spending would you cut from SS?
    Retirement
    Wonder why you are dodging the question. Mike.
    I answered. I’d cut retirement out of SS.
