Trump also just commented on his 1.5 Trillion dollar infrastructure program, which is going to be big and beautiful, but he left off where the funding would come from. I think the actual budget has a whopping 200 million for infrastructure. Further proof Trump says shit he has no intention of ever doing, so he can later blame the dems when it doesn't get done, and fool his tiny band of Trumpettes into believing that he ever intended on doing anything.

so, what, we are up to $3.3T in additional debt, on top of the $4T that was likely due to previous tax cuts.

Because the government currently wastes an estimated $125B every year (most of it in Medicare and Medicaid, btw) - and over ten years, that's $1.25T - about as much as the tax cuts. And that has been going on for decades. Isn't it funny how the socially liberal deficit hawks never seem to mind all of THAT money being added to deficits. Oh, those tax cuts, though, those are just awful! It's so much better to take more money from taxpayers and piss it away on waste and fraud...

Giving tax cuts to the uber wealthy is a waste and a fraud on all other Americans. And Medicare and Medicaid...I guess we can wait for your guy's greatest ever healthcare plan ever. In the meantime those over 65 that paid into medicare for 45 years deserve to get it, except you, of course. I'm sure you'll be turning it down, right?

I thought his plan was to have the states pay for it. This is going to be a shit show.

Oh, those tax cuts, though, those are just awful! It's so much better to take more money from taxpayers and piss it away on waste and fraud... a) i figured (8). that was a generous assumption that included a growing economy, and, most of all, no more budgetary foolishness. highly suspect, imo. it will probably be much worse. and again, it is going to be at least $7T if he passes the infrastructure bill (and he probably will. it is quite popular). b) i already told you, i HATE it. this socially liberal deficit hawk would like to balance the budget by returning to Clinton-Era Taxes. not much of a return, really. those rates were among the lowest since WW2. and i am absolutely against the waste and fraud. if you want to audit the ever loving piss out of the system, be my guest. please start with the DOD, where we scrap billion dollar projects routinely.

If not the Dems he can become specific...always Obama and Hillery to kick around... It's 12:28AM, wide awake..playing on the computer with CNN on low, back ground , Lemons show, think repeat... Guest on said something interesting...something about waking up and hoping the dream of living a nightmare right now is just that , a dream but then realizing ...we ARE living this nightmare and when we do wake up every morning or when ever one wakes up...this night mare is real. It's taking me forever to read the "BOOK"...I am 1/3 through it...can only take so much of it... One part I got a impression of..they mentioned at the time of the administration being written about..the big three..Bannon, Son in law, another one are maneuvering around for being the top dog and it reminds me , by what I had read and heard reported, those of the inner circle around good old Adolph were similar in actions...Circling around the leader like sharks, trying to become the 1...not carrying about cooperating for the common good of the Presidency or the American people....just what is good for them and the leader only wanting to hear good news...not anything negative..sound familiar?
