If politicians are willing to pull the plug on Grandmas social security and her Medicare we could find the money there without a tax increase for sure. But that is career suicide regardless of party affiliation and no one is going to do that. Those programs enjoy incredible popularity.
Yep and we’re F’d. We’re on track for a $2B+ deficit in a “good” economy. Insanity
Respectfully, I feel like "social security" and "medicade" are the shields the politicians hide behind.
Aged pretty well. The filibuster will come in pretty handy the next couple years.
What the actual F? The whole damn government has access to your social security number. If you think your data is private for even a moment youre kidding yourself.
If you can find another 1-1.7B of cuttable expenditures in the non discretionary spending you should be nominated for a Nobel prize in economics and the Presidential Medal of Freedom. That would be wonderful. I can’t find it personally, but then I’m not an auditor nor am I an expert in the ins and outs of that spending.
Yeah but is it really worth pursuing with a POTY award available right here in front of me?
We'll let you handle the okay with authoritarianism bullshit.Yep and we’re F’d. We’re on track for a $2B+ deficit in a “good” economy. Insanity
First qrtr of the FY25.
The federal budget deficit totaled $710 billion in the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, the Congressional Budget Officeestimates. That amount is $200 billion more than the deficit recorded during the same period last fiscal year
CBO Estimates $710 Billion Deficit in First Quarter of Fiscal 2025 | Tax Notes
Receipts from October, November, and December, the first quarter of fiscal 2025, totaled $1.1 trillion and outlays totaled $1.8 trillion, for a federal budgetwww.taxnotes.com
For @Huey Grey and @Tom Paris the first FQ of 2025 is Oct-Dec 2024 in case you were about to post something stupid. You’re welcome.
You’re welcome.
Once again proving you think Trump cares about Congress. You think times are normal. Head. In. Sand.
Yep! Project 2025 is a red herring, right bins? He just can't admit he's wrong. He can't do it.
Oh, times are NOT normal. Trump is horrible
I don't know. Trump just says he wants something done and it happens without ever having to go through Congress so the filibuster might end up being completely inconsequential, or only really a tool for Republicans to use when they are in the minority because Democrats try to run their ideas through Congress for some silly reason.
What’s a good deadline for our bet on R’s passing a federal abortion ban?
Of course he doesn’t give a crap about them. The first time D’s filibuster something we’ll revisit. 😊
The first four years of the Obama administration deficits over $1 trillion annually for the first time ever.....NOT decreasing!
I'm not surprised you don't acknowledge why so much money had to be spent during his first term. Especially since 3/4 of a trillion were spent to bail out the banks by itself.
Raising taxes is anti inflationary. Sending out a bunch of stimulus checks was inflationary.
Just wait until we see record deficits and a bad economy. Because Trump's mismanagement will ensure that it's coming.Yep and we’re F’d. We’re on track for a $2B+ deficit in a “good” economy. Insanity

Oh, I have no doubt it’s coming.
Maybe it is Bill Clinton who should get a 3rd term.Here is a graph that gives a bit more information and probably counters your bothsides perspective. Look for the areas where the trend is decreasing.
This is exactly why true fiscally responsible minded voters hold there nose on some of the social issues for the sake of the fiscal differences between the 2 parties. this isn't a both sides you can win.
OH. So you're waiting to be right about something before you "revisit", instead of just admitting you've been wrong about what Trump and the Heritage Foundation is trying to do. It seems as if you think the Republicans aren't going to ban abortion nationwide...if you think they won't you're truly out of your mind. They will never ever stop trying to end abortion.
That's fine. Whenever it does happen you'll be on here telling people it's no big deal because you voted for it. That's for damn sure.
