The Federal Gov't has brainwashed all Amercans into thinking our funds are limitless, and there's no downside to overspending, running up the debt, and printing Monopoly money.

Not 1 voter has seen Biden's federal budget proposal...make my day...prove me wrong!

I am probably the only person here who saw Trump's. If there is anyone else out there, please help me sleep tonight, and tell me if he's proposing a deficit or surplus.

Are you are all Pavlov's Dogs?

To be serious, I doubt you have seen President Trump's proposed federal budget for 2021. I mean, why claim that 'I am probably the only person here who saw Trump's? Care to provide a link?


Let us deal with facts. When Mr. Trump became President on January 20, 2017, the national debt was 19.9 trillion. Who says? Why, the Trump White House:

What is the national debt today? 27 trillion:

Didn't Candidate Trump promise to wipe out the debt? Yes, he did:

Counter argument?

Not 1 voter has seen Trump’s healthcare plan that he promised us would be provided over a month ago.

I know they taught macro at Florida. Do you remember much from it? Was your MBA before or after the Great Recession?

This election is not about policy, it's about character, it's a referendum on Trump. America is tired of the nasty bully that is currently occupying the White House. Besides being nasty his is utterly incompetent!!!!



Besides Trump doesn't have a platform or policies, he just has his mantra's. Totally useless.

At the rate Trump is spending, if he gets re-elected he will eclipse Obama's total debt increase over two terms in only five years. Trump is currently sitting at $7.2 trillion added to the national debt over the last four years, while Obama added $9.3 trillion over 8 years. Those fiscally conservative Republicans sure do know how to open the purse strings.

Trump presented a budget in February but Congress usually does its own thing. A continuing resolution passed a few weeks ago because the appropriation bills have not been firmed up or passed. It will be after the election probably before that happens.

Trump budget deficit or surplus? His budget showed $1 trillion deficit in 2021 using all their assumptions. Budget assumptions are often not accurate and often not particularly honest. But that is the background. What matters is what the House & Senate agree on and what somebody as President eventually signs in December or later. Biden only gets a say on initial fiscal year 2021 spending if the 3 branches of goverment fail to act on final spending bills before he possibly becomes President. In late winter 2021 he would normally proposed a budget for FY2022. Possibly amendments to FY2021 sometime if necessary. The original FY2021 spending bills only if still on a continuing resolution.

They are so predictable, aren’t they?
