I was an Obama voter and could not be happier with my Obamacare. As are millions of others. But what I want to know is where is Trump's insurance? You know, the one that will be the best and everybody will be covered? We're still waiting on that.
That is an excellent question......maybe it's behind "the wall"!
After the last tax cut I saved a lot of money, so with another cut maybe I won't have to pay any taxes -- just like the illegals
But with my luck, that's when I will win the lottery and have to pay a freakin' fortune.
However, I'm willing to take the risk
Interesting since you haven't filed yet you must mean you have more cash from the new with-holding guidelines. However, you may be in for a naughty surprise come 2019 when you file for TY 2018. I guess we'll find out....I'm sure you'll come back and admit such if this is indeed the case as it will be for millions of Americans.
So the borrowing is slightly below the 2009 and 2010 levels, all in a hot economy. Does anyone think this is crazy, certainly not Trumps economic council. So what happens if the economy slows down. Running deficits like this and he's going for more, in his dreams. Where is the republican criticism.

“The debt binge is extraordinary by historical standards,” says The Washington Post’s Christopher Ingraham. “In only two years has the government borrowed more money, in nominal terms — 2009 and 2010, when the country was grappling with the effects of the Great Recession.”
Bloomberg’s Randy Woods summed up the current fiscal situation this way:
“The Treasury is boosting sales of bills, notes and bonds in part to help finance a budget gap that’s widening after President Donald Trump signed $1.5 trillion in tax cuts late last year and the Republican-controlled Congress approved a roughly $300 billion spending increase. Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve is shrinking its balance sheet and choosing not to replace its holdings of some Treasuries as they mature, and an aging population is boosting costs of federal programs such as Medicare.”
The Congressional Budget Office projects a $973 billion deficit for the current fiscal year, rising to more than $1 trillion in fiscal 2020.
Looking forward to my 10% bump in the check tomorrow.
