    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?

    We should cut spending by adding 50 trillion dollars of new spending

    Obama only nearly doubled the debt (trigger) lets triple it

    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...

    Race likes to ignore the cost savings and additional revenues in lieu of insurance and out of pocket.

    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.

    More than 50 trillion?

    Why don't you run the numbers for us and show how we can save even more money than Obamacare
