A ballooning U.S. budget shortfall -- fueled by tax cuts,
Stopped reading right there. This isn't economic analysis, it's political rhetoric.

Sen McConnell says we have to cut medicare and socialist security to make up the shortfall. Dems should have used that clip in all Senate races that were even close.
So what expenditures would you cut back on to stop the debt problem?

This is true, but before the tax cuts were enacted Trump and those damn Republicans should have had plans to cut spending equally, incremenrally, bit it wasn't done. Instead we have spent more and faster than revenue coming in. Tax cuts was a pacifier to some. Not me. I want my government to get ahold of its drunken spending habit. If revenue is indeed coming in at record levels from other sources besides taxes, then all we need to do is cut spending.
She-it has to end.

TRUMP can't spend money only congress can.
Don't worry I'm sure Nancy will put out a balanced budget in just a few more weeks.
Like the one Paul Ryan and McConnell worked on the past 2 years or so? Pelosi hasn't been speaker since 2010?

Two of those things are not tax cuts...
and those same two would have been reigned in by Republican Medicaid proposals BUT FOR a handful of moderate R's and EVERY DEMOCRAT.

No one is stopping you from paying more. Why don’t you write a check to the feds or tell them to take out more? Or tell them to keep your tax return

Government receipts way up. Spending is always the problem. We all know this.

Please explain how his lifestyle is more extravagant than the Presidents of the past 50 years???
And do you really think the security, the INCREASE in security over what any other person would have had today had they been elected 45 (if there even is an increase), is anything? It's not even a rounding error.

There’s literally billions of dollars we could cut from each cabinet department alone

Tax revenue is expected to be at 3.4 trillion for the next fiscal year. That’s climbing toward twice what it was prior to the recession. This is just piss poor propaganda reporting.

Congress sets the budget..But you already knew that, right?

Dude, the President signed the omnibus spending bill. He could have vetoed and there was no guarantee that he could be overridden. If you like Trump, fine. But let's not pretend that he gives a shite about fiscal responsibility based on his actions thus far.

Yet another lie from the Liar in Chief. They drug out that old saw about how big tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations would actually improve the federal deficit problem. Now the deficit will be approaching $1 trillion a year. And notice you hear nothing but crickets from the crowd that constantly bitched and moaned about the previous administration's budget deficits. What a bunch of fricking hypocrites.

Tax revenue is not climbing. It's declining. We collected less in September 2018 than we did in September 2017.

Tax revenue hit a record high
Spending is what soared
Why can’t you understand this?
Our budget deficit is increasing because of factors that have been years in the making, as the CBO has noted: aging population, interest in debt, etc
Why won’t you answer my question?
What % of the deficit increase is due to tax cuts of 2017?

It also pisses me off when they say that we "have to pay for tax cuts." bullshite!

Ok, but that isn’t the point:
The key question is this: what % of the deficit increase is due to the tax cuts, as opposed to spending increase, interest payments on debt, and Ss/Medicare?
