No worries. Mitch McConnell s decided it will be covered by all the money WE put into Social Security and Medicare all those years of working , sometimes two jobs. It was nt an optional deduction.
But , hey, Mitch says we're not entitled to our money after all. Imagine that. maga. Ya.
In fact , our entitlement....that we paid into
...as in we are entitled to that money back....is apparently what has run the deficit out of control. LOL.
Could nt be the Trump Bunch outta control stealing could it.

Because increased individual tax revenue helped lessen the blow to the deficit.

Spending less is a good thing. Robbing people of their money is not. Im not responsible for the deficit.

GOP tax giveaway to the corporations and the rich are just their means of legally stealing money the Treasury doesn't have and won't have by forcing the Treasury to borrow.

Thus, the ballooning deficit.

Biggest shell game in the world. And, the little guy will pay the price when the SHTF - which, judging from the market, may be sooner than anyone expects.
Yep, sad but true. Apparently GOP cares about deficits only when Democrat is in the WH. Just to add, one spending item - the defense spending has actually increased a lot. No justifiable reason for that, the martians are not coming.

Sure, spending less is good. How about we cut "defense" budget 50%. Sounds good? It would still remain ridiculously big, but it would be a start.

When are you liberals going to understand that tax cuts don’t add to the deficit . Uncontrolled government spending is what adds to the deficit.

When you don't do both (which conservative retards did) then it does add to the deficit.

The conservative party is full of condescension while sounding like idiots.

Socialists want everyone down and out so the government has to ride in like the White Knight and save everyone thus making everyone equal. Equally poor. This thread shows us this.
