Honestly the Republicans have been legendary for saying they will control budgets...then not doing so. The term "Drunken sailor" has often been used to describe how they spend. They claim budget cuts will increase tax revenue-then act surprised when it doesn't, and just say "It will come eventually". Because people forget.

Go look again. Plus there is a huge difference when you claim that were getting record receipts vs were taking in less. You never used a number at all. I just called out your nonsense is all. We did not take in record receipts.

In the past 20 years, there has been only one year, when receipts did not break a record, so its not like we are in a new area.

Why aren't Democrats calling on Nancy Pelosi to cut the spending in Trump's budget?



Answer: It's not about the spending. It's about "Orange Man Bad".

The NPC has spoken again! "Orange man bad". Wish the npcs would vary their responses more. Ah well.

As for calling on Pelosi....they are. But the budget has to make it through both the House AND the Republican controlled Senate and presidency.

All this "winning" is going to Bankrupt our Country.
First, he bankrupted a couple of his businesses, so I guess he has his sights on our Country next.

have any Trump supporters commented on the $840 billion in cuts to medicare?

The boomers voted overwhelmingly for Trump in 2016. We're talking millions of Trump voters over 65 who are on medicare. How will they feel about Trump cutting their medicare benefits???

Actually between 2013 -2017 tax revenue increased each year by around 4.5%, this is the best economy we have had in decades and its not keeping up with the 2017 tax cut. People should be concerned that we are running these historic deficits in a hot economy, imagine if there is a recession.

Doesn't seem that long ago when Republicans were shocked over the first billion dollar budget.
