MAGA! Winning! Federal government spending is now 13.7 percent higher than during Obama’s last year in office (employment, military)

but its not really trump, nor the republicans, nor the democrats....


outlays are outpacing the receipts (payroll taxes, which were NOT changed)


for example
SS has been paying out more than its intake since 2007..and every year the gap is getting worse


FY17(last budget under Obama) SS outlays was 939 billion, yet receipts was only 851 billion... a difference of 88 billion...that's 88 billion in the hole (deficit)


projected is for fy22..1.2 trillion in outlays, yet 1.049t receipts


projected is for fy27..1.652 trillion in outlays, yet 1.361t receipts, so for FY27, nearly 300 (291) billion deficit just for the line item of SS

I'll never understand how EddieB.Good thinks people believe his made up garbage about conservatives. But when all the big government policies he supports are failures, the thing to do is make a troll post about conservatives. How about you look for the truth? Granted you wont find it in a big government president like Trump or Obama or Bush or ....

It doesn't count if you're a Republican, silly.

Considering the explosive growth of the federal government and the debt began under Reagan that's a good point.

Just like war crimes don't count if you're a Democrat.

And MAGAs are the worst of both worlds.

Which has nothing to do with a increase in government spending.

It has everything to do with it. Republicans literally campaign on cutting spending, yet do nothing but increase spending. It's hypocrisy.

And of course the excuse his team used was Obama had to spend to straighten out Bush's mess. When does either party take responsibility?

Higher spending on half staffed government.
