    The article says the trade deficit is up 25% not the debt.

    Well, Trump is weak on the deficit. So are most Republicans, all dems and most voting citizens and voting illegals. The alternative is dems offering trillions in more spending.

    Is it a census?

    How many illegals get free healthcare in California? Has Newsom run the numbers yet? Is he a dictator? What about the supreme court?

    I don't recall the Democrats cutting taxes or adding to military spending.

    Do you recall the Rats having anything to do with this Hondo?

    "Two programs — Medicare and Medicaid — are expected to account for 86% of all estimated HHS spending in FY2019," it said.

    In the first eight months of this fiscal year, which began in October, HHS spent $834,346,000,000, according to the Monthly Treasury Statement for May. That is up from $731,724,000,000 in the first eight months of last fiscal year.

    Through all of fiscal 2018, HHS spent approximately $1,120,500,000,000 — or $93,375,000,000 per month.

    Through this full fiscal year, according to the estimate published in the Monthly Treasury Statement, HHS will spend approximately $1,230,273,000,000 — or $102,522,750,000 per month.

    In May alone, according to the Monthly Treasury Statement, HHS spent $146,552,000,000.

    Revenues are up. As is spending. Same as it ever was

    In fact if the democrats weren't retards they could get a bunch more spending because of the democrat in the White House who likes to spend

    I will never support tax hikes because its my money and I do better with it than the idiots in DC. Its not a tax problem it is a spending problem. Despite these "massive" tax cuts we still pay out about 50% of what we make to all levels of government.

    You can take all the wealth of the top 1% and run the country for around a year. Then what?

    Medicare and Medicaid are the two programs that are killing us fiscally and the spending on both of those just continues to increase every year.

    Is almost like the Federal Reserve and Nixon taking us off the gold standard has nothing to do with it.
