Massive Spike in Deficit Spending Projected this Year

[_EAllusion]

The U.S. government is set to borrow nearly $1 trillion this year, an 84 percent jump from last year.

That this is occurring while the economy is in year 8 of an economic recovery with strong tax receipts is foreboding if you at all care about deficit spending.

And if, like every liberal here, one doesn't care about deficit spending?

He makes a good point does he not? Or do you now suddenly, and magically, care about deficit spending?

I've cared about deficit spending since '92. You know what? It doesn't matter. Repubs and Democrats gon' do what they gon' do.

The only interesting thing here is how suddenly you don't care anything at all about deficit spending so long as the black guy isn't doing it.

So if deficits don't matter, I suppose that Republicans will never scream that the country is going bankrupt and therefore we have to slash entitlements?

Yeah, right.

Yeah, right.

If by never you mean this week, you might be right.

Never said I did care or that I didn't care....regardless of President. But it's fun seeing you fumble around pretending you know what deficit spending means. Nevertheless, answer the question. No Republican, and likely no other person, cares about your critique of the Republican party or their candidates.
