not a problem, vote for a Democrat. free healthcare, free college, free $1,000 a month UBI. If it's free, that means it won't effect the budget, right?
US budget deficit hits $984 billion, highest in 7 years.
Since Bush had a deficit of only 161B in 2007, does that make him a better President?
Since Obama had a deficit of 1300B in 2011, does that make him more irresponsible than Trump?

The government doesn't work like a household strapped for cash.
Deficits are good for job growth. The reason the economic recovery was so stagnant was because Obama and the republicans were deficit hawks.
Trump, despite republican hypocrisy, has stopped his administration from falling apart by promoting budget deficits.
If we didn't have deficits we'd be in a recession right now.
Also private business has nothing to do with government monetary policy, capital is not invested/created the same way.
But the GOP shut down the government over prior deficits but now they’re are good, increasing deficit in a hot economy is good. Trumps advisers don’t have the slightest idea, the 2017 cut was a temporary bump and just made a bad situation worse. Sure some deficits are good but 4% of GDP is a disaster waiting to happen.

oh I 100% agree.
Republicans are massive hypocrites and were co-responsible for the massive budget cuts that lead to home evictions and the bailouts that stabilized the fractional reserve credit system.
People like Paul Ryan are awful. Democrats shouldn't fall for the 'fiscal conservatism' Obama and house republicans sold them.
How much has been spent on impeachment? In most normal years, impeachment would not be part of the equation.
Not as much as on golf trips!
