Deficit Much Worse than White House Estimates

Post by _Hawkeye »

CBO estimates the govt will take in $1,900,000,000,000 (that’s 1.9 trillion) less in revenue and spend $300,000,000,000 ( that’s 300 billion) more over the next decade than the White House estimated under its latest budget proposal

So Much Winning !

Yet more proof of the failure of the concept, “tax cuts pay for themselves”.

Since Obama is no longer President, deficits no longer matter.

Now will come Part II, which everyone knew was coming. With massive deficits looming, the President and the Republicans will use this as an excuse to cut social programs. Stay tuned...

And when the confederates saw Jackson standing fearless as a stone wall the army of Northern Virginia took courage and drove the federal army off their land.
