Budget deficit smashes $1 trillion mark, the highest in seven years

 

Spoiler

The U.S. government’s red ink for fiscal 2019 swelled past the $1 trillion mark in August, the first time that level has been eclipsed in seven years, the Treasury Department reported Thursday.

The total shortfall rose to nearly $1.07 trillion, thanks to a difference between revenue and expenses of more than $214.1 billion in August. The government last saw that large of a fiscal deficit in 2012, when the gap was nearly $1.1 trillion.

During his presidential campaign, President Donald Trump promised economic growth that would easily take care of the tax cuts and new spending he planned. His 2017 tax break for corporations and individuals has helped contribute to a deficit that has grown from $584.6 billion in 2016.

Revenue has accelerated slightly in 2019 to about $280 billion a month, but so have expenditures, which are averaging $377 billion a month, or about $25 billion a month more than in 2018. Last year closed with a $779 billion deficit.

As the deficit has grown so has the national debt, which is now at $22.5 trillion, up 13% since Trump took office.

Stronger than Bolton? So, like what, we are going to nuke those countries from outer space, salt the earth, and drive their women and children before us?

Venezuela better pray that Trump doesn't have access to Amazon Prime Video, because the new Jack Ryan season coming out in month and a half or so, features a nuclear-armed Venezuela.

I'm going to spend a few days, write a book called "The Jihad Culture: The Left's Attack on Christian America", sub-titled: "How Socialists are Trying to Undermine President Trump's Legacy".
All I have to do is setup a twitter account, give shoutouts to a few morons that Trump has retweeted in the past, get them to tweet it, leading him to retweet it and then watch the beer money flow in.

Respect the grift

What the fuck was that?  

Exploiting patriotism during war to preserve power.  The only thing unique about that video is that its leveraging our current cold civil war.

I can't believe some of you people.  Finally we have a president who understand that people like water with some flavor and you're bitching about it?

Remember about five years ago when Rex Tillerson and Dick Cheney sued to stop a fracking company from building the water tower near their ranches? Buncha NIMBYS. If you can't drink brown water or set it on fire when it comes out of the spigot, are you really living?
