No big deal. I usually peruse the first 10 or so posts but I can't find time to read all the posts in a thread sometimes either.
However, I do think the key thing here is that the headline is misleading. Not just this one. People take one line of a report and make that the basis of fact but without the context. And it happens everywhere.
I wouldn't be surprised if, in this case, we didn't hear Rush Limbaugh talking about how tax receipts are up by 4% with complete disregard to the meaning of it. The liberal media would do the same given the chance. Gah, I hate it. Can't even read the news these days.
How is the headline misleading? The article heading is generic - Monthly Budget Review.
The thread title says tax receipts are up. That's true as well. I didn't says debts or deficits were falling.
Democrats dont run on small government.... the GOP does and they keep treating their supporters like fools.
The GOP controls government, so you should be calling out them but you arent.... you are excited like the same fools were under Bush Jr when we cut taxes and greatly increased spending.
What are you talking about? I did call out that SOME (not all) of the GOP want big government.
Usually the general take is the GOP in general wants small government. That's not true for all... but some do want smaller government.

What's misleading?
The thread title isn't misleading?

More Trump Success... Tax Receipts Up Significantly in 2018
That's pretty much exactly what misleading is. Here, let me start with bias and then an out-of-context statistic to support it.
It would be accurate if the thread title was "Tax Receipts going up slower than spending." But that headline would have 2 replies instead of the misleading headline that garnered 60+.

The number of GOP Congress members who actually believe in smaller government can be counted on two hands.
Rand Paul, Justin Amash, Thomas Massie, Mike Lee, Walter Jones, and couple others that escape me.
