Stop giving corporations trillion-dollar welfare checks in the form of tax cuts.

Once you admit trickle-down is bullshite, we can fund everything easily.


One of the main reasons we are now begging china for everything now is due to offshoring, and one of the main reasons for that, was one of the highest corporate tax rates in the world. The labor cost is small compared to the tax rates companies were paying to remain in the US.

Our President is the King of Debt. Are you really surprised. He will finish his first term with more debt than Obama had in 8 years but leave us with 10% unemployment vs 4%.

As awesome as it is to see 'actual' conservatives find a way to support whatever Trump does.

In a couple of years we're going to be spending more on INTEREST on the debt than we are for Social Security, Medicare, or defense. It's going to be our largest government expenditure (unless we massively start spending more on other things...)



You want to really gulp? Go look at the deficit for entitlements alone. It's balloning to over $1T without even considering discretionary spending

We have got to fill up the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. Oil is cheap and it’ll help our oil/gas sector. No reason not to—other than it was Trump’s idea.

The perfect scenario for the Communist/Democrats. They are praying for 30% unemployment and more government dependence.


Funny how the GOP hero is borrowing and spending at unprecedented levels and the idiots on here find a way to blame liberals for it.

There's not a sane one there. On either side. But blaming Trump exclusively is... assinine as it is wrong.

Spending 2.2 million dollars per death IF we get to a million is not enough.

At least we will get $500 MM of useful stuff out of this!

Wow why are you complaining? You usually slurp down every thing your GEOTUS tell you to and this is his idea.

We're soon going to have to stop thinking in Trillions and start using Quadrillions.

People don't understand viral exponential growth... the really don't understand interest exponential growth.

I've been a Trump fan but

We're going to print money and loan it to ourselves at zero percent interest so it's a good deal.

Maybe because a bicameral, split Congress voted nearly unanimously for the spending. It was an everybody gets to hook up their donors kind of deal. If libs tried to stop it I would have loved that.

But at this point the Fed is in charge. Even on the fiscal side now. We are all so fricked at this point it doesn't matter who's President, it's so clearly a figure head position after watching the past several weeks. The bueracracy behind him is in charge and the uniparty Congress that doesn't give a frick about your tax burden or personal freedoms are calling the shots.

Wow.

Obama spent 8 years reducing the deficit that Trump ballooned even before any of this latest stuff happened. Now he is President who has no concept of spending limits getting cheered on by the GOP sycophants who cried like babies while Obama was President.

But yeah, Obama should have destroyed the country to save a few more pennies for the Republicans.

As for "room", do you hear ANY discussion about a spending limit? Please link one if you can.
