They always mattered dumbass, which is why they were dead set on making it decrease throughout Obama's second term. Fell 66% from 2009 to 2014.

While your statement is inaccurate, it is an admission you pretended to care about deficits.

No it's not. Democrats deal with deficits by raising taxes. Republicans deal with deficits by cutting welfare spending. That's what this fight is about. Private property versus big brother telling me who needs my money worse than me. It's the fight for freedom.

The idea that the US could alleviate the illegal immigration problem by allowing in more illegal immigrants is so naïve. Can't they count or predict where populations are growing the most?
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.

Are you really this out of touch with reality? Reality is you can cut out all the welfare and you still have a big deficit. It also then ignores all the problems that would come as a result of spending cuts, which is why republicans have not gotten rid of important social programs even though they have controlled all three houses a number of times over the last century. Military spending dwarfs welfare and you don't get much from most of it. Reality is you guys are getting into some major debt as a nation with republicans in charge. They give out huge tax cuts to the rich when the economy is good with huge deficits and debt. That is the opposite of what you are supposed to do in good economic times. I suspect we don't have to worry about anyone calling you a fiscal conservative.

Where have you complained about deficits under Trump? I admit you spend all your time here avoiding discussion and just attacking people you view as liberal. It's your one sided posting that shows you don't really care much about deficits.

Every month that goes by will set a new record all time high for the national debt until Congress balances the budget. No one, Republican or Democrat, has reduced the debt for decades.
