The State of Georgia is a virtual tie between Trump and Clinton

One of you guys will have to quote me since the easily "affected" Ricter has put the "other team" on ignore.
I can not believe ricter has been on this deficits matter kick for a few days now. its comedy after the deficit his team just ran up in 7 plus years.
deficits - debt...however your sides Trumpaphobia manifests itself... in attempting to scare us about the economy under Trump.

Mr. Obama’s spending agreement with Congress will suspend the nation’s debt limit and allow the Treasury to borrow another $1.5 trillion or so by the end of his presidency in 2017. Added to the current total national debt of more than $18.15 trillion, the red ink will likely be crowding the $20 trillion mark right around the time Mr. Obama leaves the White House.
When Mr. Obama took over in January 2009, the total national debt stood at $10.6 trillion. That means the debt will have very nearly doubled during his eight years in office, and there is much more debt ahead with the abandonment of “sequestration” spending caps enacted in 2011.

The Congressional Budget Office continues to warn of mounting debt, noting that “the long-term outlook for the federal budget has worsened dramatically over the past several years.”
Reduced now, the deficit soon will grow, according to CBO. Citing increased health care and retirement entitlements in addition to mounting debt payments, the agency predicts that budget deficits “will rise substantially, to $1 trillion in 2025.”
In June, CBO reported that without budget reform, “the federal debt held by the public would exceed 100 percent of GDP [gross domestic product].”

So? Fear mongering over the deficit and debt is all we heard from you during early Obama. Why wouldn't I rub Drumpf's plan, estimated to make both worse, in your face? Particularly since Drumpf would be doing it via discretionary actions, unlike under Obama when it was non-discretionary, counter cyclical spending, and falling revenues, that caused it.
When I first read this yesterday, I cracked up and thought you were being sarcastic. As long as we can keep from descending into reddit/youtube style hate speech, I'm happy to try and respond.
When did your family immigrate here, where did they come from, and why do you think they came?

Of the 101.7 million people who are not employed, 37.5 million are age 65 and over -- an age when Medicare kicks in and many Americans head into retirement. Another 11.9 million are between 16 and 19, meaning they’re either high-school-age or starting college. And another 8 million are age 20 to 24, when many are in college or graduate school.
Combined, these groups account for 57.5 million Americans -- or more than three-fifths of the number Cruz cited.
Could one quibble with our calculation? Sure -- one could exclude the 20 to 24 category since not everyone that age is college-bound. And improving senior health means that Americans can effectively work past 65.
Still, we don’t see much justification for Cruz counting high-school-age kids (roughly 10 million) and Americans 75 and up (17.6 million). Even this far more restrictive definition leaves almost one-third of Cruz’s number questionable.
Another point worth noting: Just because someone in the prime working-age range (25 to 64) isn’t working doesn’t mean that they are unemployed. They may be disabled, taking care of children full-time or have gone back to school. The actual number of officially unemployed Americans in January was a little under 9 million -- just one-tenth of the figure Cruz cited as "not working."

You angling to make the false argument... "Americans are all decedent from immigrants, ergo all immigrants should be welcomed, taken in, and supported"?
When and why my ancestors came is irrelevant. There was no "social tit" to suck on 200 years ago.
We had an immigration policy until recent years which limited the number of immigrants and vetted them. Now they are just a hoard of invaders who (1) should not be able to get into this country in unfettered numbers, and (2) if they had to "make their own way" because there was no social system to exploit, they wouldn't be here at all.
(I searched your prior posts. They have a Lefty stench to 'em. And as I hate what the Lefties have done and are doing to America, I suspect you're about 1 post away from my ON IGNORE list.)
