> Following an announcement Monday from the Treasury that the federal government ran a deficit of $779 billion in Fiscal Year 2018, the Democratic staff on the Senate Budget Committee released a report showing that the federal government would be running a surplus today if not for four Republican policies.
OH NO NO NO NO

No one believes this dummy.
Show the figures of how much we'd be in the hole if we were running under Democrat policies.
I could come up with 4 democrat policies that if we dropped, we could balance the budget. But pointing to them does not at all discuss their merits or value, or popularity.
>Without the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the enormous post-9/11 defense buildup and two rounds of costly, regressive tax cuts, the federal government would be running a $156 billion surplus instead of a $779 billion deficit.
If i remember correctly, Obama promised to bring the troops home during both of his elections. 8 Years, and he didn't do shit
yawn
What this retarded report is saying is "if you'd just let us double all your taxes, we'd be in surplus!" The only reason any gibs program exists is because of democrats. Don't forget every single one voted no to remove husseincare.
>
He pulled most of the troops out though?
NEVER TRUST A REPUBLICAN WITH MONEY
>Low taxes are good because now I can spend my money on overpriced healthcare and get ripped off by corporations!
lol holy shit you're fucking retarded
right wing retards dont know this
He expanded the bombing into Somalia, Yemen, Pakistan, Libya, Syria. Probably a few more I'm forgetting.
there's nothing that triggers conservatives and Republicans more than fiscal responsibility
They fucking HATED Based Bill Clinton for balancing the budget. They were so mad about it that they impeached him
NEVER TRUST A REPUBLICAN WITH MONEY!
No we wouldn't.
Look up the Laffer Curve .
NEVER TRUST A REPUBLICAN WITH MONEY
!!
>Troops out
>Just drone strike everything instead, including the children an weddings
How's that nigger dick taste?
>the Democratic staff on the Senate Budget Committ
Gee I wonder why they're blaming Republicans.
i guess obama and clinton were republicans
k
so u just admitted that he did pull the troops out
i swear to god u fucking retards are brain dead
i guess u don't understand the title
>Years, and he didn't do shit
>yawn
He sent 100,000 drone strikes on randos in the mid east.
drawing that line didnt work? shocking
because republicans cut taxes, jack up spending and explode the deficit every time they're in charge
almost like u should never trust a republican with money, they come in and fuck everything up
And expanded military action into 5 more countries. Truly a hero who fulfilled his promises.
>Spend more
>Surplus
Yeaaaaaaaaaaa everyone believes that
Your post was about bringing troops home, not bringing drones home.
what will you do when your parents kick you out? you have no job.
by military action u mean a few drone strikes?
whereas republicans wasted trillions in iraq and afghanistan
i swear to god your brain is broken
were u retards even alive when bush invaded iraq?
>government has less money
What a shame. How awful. Please obamaleaf, tell me why I should give all my money to the government.
they're too stupid to even understand what they're saying
great post friend
I never gave a shit if he brought troops home, nor commented on it. I'm pointing out that pretending he actually placated the people who wanted to leave the Middle East alone isn't going to work.
With Dems we would never make it back to over 2% growth. What kind of BS is this shit?
so u admit u want to bankrupt your own country
Obama had 5% growth
u people are fucking retards
>suddently dems care about the deficit
Some day in the future a dem will be president and suddenly dems wont care about the deficit and the GOP will its a fucking meme like "the president gold too much"
Fact: Until another power can supplant North American economic might and or sail an army over to make us pay, the deficit doesn't fucking matter
trump is growing the deficit at almost 100%
Federal budget deficit increases 79% in July
marketwatch.com
Dems always care about the deficit that's why they always reduce it
>A few drone strikes
>Not military action
We should drone strike Canada and see how you feel about it then.
>democrats who slandered kavanaugh now want you to trust them on the economy
they're just trying to fool moderates into thinking that this time voting for democrats will be different
it wont work schlomo
Obama promised to bring most of the troops home
Obama brought the vast majority of the troops home
There is literally nowhere to argue
>Dems force crazy omnibus bill through congress
>TRUMP YOU'RE SPENDING TOO MUCH MONEY
>clinton, bush and obama take the debt to 20T
voters have been demanding more than they pay in for decades
u don't comprehend the difference between wasting trillions invading countries and a few drone strikes?
my god u freaks truly are brain dead
Obamaleafe you are a tired and stale retard, The deficit literally doesn't matter as long as we are still the premier market on earth and we will be for the forseable future.
IF the US cannot do what it wants to do with the money it collects, it should do less.
Deficits are a spending problem, not an earning problem.
Why don’t you go suck your faggot leaders dick leaf!
Sure, he fulfilled a faggoty, useless promise. Now defend Obama expanding the Middle Eastern war by 5 countries.
obama added 10 trillion in 8 year, clearly dems care about the deficit
What's the budget surplus when we keep our military at roughly the same level of funding, expand medicare, medicaid, social security, provide "free" healthcare for every citizen, provide "free" college for every citizen, expand welfare, EBT, and other nigger gibs, expand multiple departments and agencies to more strictly oversee and regulate free public enterprise causing a massive increase in expensive do-nothing federal employees and simultaneously raising regulations and taxes on businesses so badly that they invert and move production to other countries to employ anyone but Americans and avoid corporate taxes, and allow unlimited immigration to the U.S. and provide all of these "free" services to every single person who enters, no questions asked or criteria met?
Is it a really big surplus?
did you just take the highest quarterly number from his entire tenure and say that he had that growth?
Guess what his average is bud?
2.02%
fucking dumbass leftist cuck.
republicans increased military spending by like $100B and cut taxes for billionaires and corporations
all dems asked for was a few billion for meth addiction treatment for trump voters
wrong, faggot
sad you think you can lie and nobody will notice
what are they?
>The US should just go around bombing the shit out of anyone they don't like.
Again, why shouldn't we do this to Canada? You've got enough Muslims for it.
>H-he lied about bringing the troops home!
>S-so what that he brought the troops home, D-DRONES! DROOOONNNEESSS!!!!
Jimmy Carter spent his whole term paying down Vietnam war debt . Reagan introduced debt borrowing for daily government operations.
>19 posts by this leaf
Woah
and obama isnt even in office anymore
You mean all the wars?
>>Low taxes are good because now I can spend my money on overpriced healthcare and get ripped off by corporations!
Isn't your whole fucking shtick as a shitlib that we're CURRENTLY spending our money on overpriced healthcare and getting ripped off by corporations?
Why the fuck wouldn't I want lower taxes when I'm ALREADY paying for the shit you're bitching about, dumbass? Use your fucking brain.
Republicans lick corporate balls.
no he didn't
i love how right wing retards are so fucking stupid that u literally don't know what a deficit is lmao
cracks me up every time
u retards literally don't know what a deficit is
>the democrats say that the republicans did a thing
yeah ok I believe it makes sense
I'm such a lying faggot, why can't I stop making things up?
We all know Obama sent more troops to the Middle East
i love how triggered u shills get when we compare 1 trump quarter to 1 obama quarter
I'm guessing this is based on some sort of notion like
>The average american worker injects $X into the economy.
>Therefore if we import 1 billion turd worlders, it will inject 1 Billion x $X. The streets will be paved with gold.
I guarantee you lala land logic was used to derive their desired outcome.
QUICK! OPEN THE BORDERS AND REPEAL THE SECOND AMENDMENT!!
>the democratic staff
literally nothing
Gives entire budget to military No Wall
holy shit the paid GOP shills brought their entire office into this thread to do damage control
So you think him sending the troops across the border is "bringing the troops home?" No wonder you believe his bullshit they feed you
LMAO
still no wall
wtf i thought mexico was paying for it?
>If Not for Republican Policies, the Federal Government Would Be Running a Surplus
lol..thats a good one user
literally no argument from the shills
typical
Housing crisis caused by repub deregulation
>high taxes are good because im too stupid to manage my own finances
>daddy government please do all my thinking for me
This is what an NPC looks like
>the Democratic staff on the Senate Budget Committee
I am sure they are not biased at all. It is like those retards who shout "if we had communism, America would be much better!"
Where did he send them, then? Or will you call me a liar and then make shit up?
It's unfortunately part of the republican intersectionality. If we could just kick the neo-cons to the curb then this wouldn't be an issue. Lower taxes=lower spending=smaller government=good.
Lower taxes=greater spending=larger government=very bad.
didn't Obama double our debt from $10 trillion to $20 trillion?
>Diverting from the fact king nigger is a failure and can't defend the actual things he did instead of his pretty words.
Nigger got a good pair of lips on him.
Without Non-Whites, America would be running a budget surplus.
>debt and deficit are the same thing
>thinking debt is a bad thing
I didn't run for office on the promise I'd bring them home you fucking mongoloid, what kind of god damn response is that? "Well it's more than YOU did"
No shit, I'm not the fucking president

Wow!
>making predictive statements with economics
lmao, literally all the "dismal science" can do is analyze previous trends. anyone selling you an extrapolation might as well sell you a bridge in brooklyn.
>Thinking debt is a bad thing
DEBT GOOD THE JEWS SAY SO!
>Moving the goalpost and talking about something completely unrelated
Where the fuck did Obama send the troops he pulled out of Iraq and Afghanistan? You said he did, so where the fuck did they go?
I want to know how the fuck FDR could rack up a net debt while sending huge numbers of tanks, planes, and ships to other countries without compensation.
Debt is bad, prove me wrong.
>thinking debt is a good thing
>consistent growth
vs
>one good quarter
>if we didn't do the tax cuts that led to the boom in tax returns, we would be in a surplus, based on the fact that we're in a boom
>So you think him sending the troops across the border is "bringing the troops home?" No wonder you believe his bullshit they feed you
Where did he send them? Answer the question already. Are they in Saudi Arabia now?
are you retarded? How exactly does that matter when there is nearly 10 trillion more debt from when he started office from when he left?
>The deficits from all these budgets total $6.786 trillion. But, like most presidents, Obama's contribution to the debt was higher. There's a difference between the deficit and the debt by president. All presidents can employ a sleight of hand to reduce the appearance of the deficit. They can borrow from federal retirement funds. For example, the Social Security Trust Fund has run a surplus since 1987. There were more working people contributing via payroll taxes than retired people withdrawing benefits.
>The Fund invests its surplus in U.S. Treasury notes. The president can reduce the deficit by spending these funds instead of issuing new Treasurys. As a result, Obama added $8.588 trillion to the debt.
>Democratic staff on the Senate Budget Committee released a report showing
Into the trash it goes
If American healthcare was an actual freemarket the prices would drop and coverage would expand... just like every single product or service in our capitalistic society. Only the ones where the government interferes with do prices get inflated.
