The U.S. government is set to borrow nearly $1 trillion this year, an 84 percent jump from last year

Suddenly debt is a problem now that there is a Republican led congress passing the budget.

Well, at least it's good to see you all concerned about the budget like the rest of the fiscal conservatives here. Just try to remember your stance the next time democrats lead the show.


Remember how you were going on about ''It's all about the Price of Gas Stupid'':)

When Obama took office in 2008 Brent crude was at $100 a barrel and when he left , at $45.
With Trump it's already in the $70's.

It's like you're on autopilot. Did you even read my post?
 
One thing is to borrow without income to support home renovations (Obama), quite another is to borrow for home renovations with strong financials (Trump). You guys need a lesson on how to use credit correctly. Cheers.

Yeah, the argument that the government should be run like a household is a terrible idea and analogy.

The government should always be the antithesis of the economy in a free market. Meaning when the economy is growing the government should be reducing spending and when the economy is recessing the government should increase spending. Not only does this help fight deflation and inflation, it also creates stability because a free market is inherently unstable.

Also, it doesn’t make sense to borrow more money in a growing economy when money is expensive. It benefits us to borrow when money is cheapest.

What I’m saying is what you are proposing is the exact wrong thing to do for so many reasons I couldn’t begin to name them all.

What do my comments (which blamed money printing and easy Fed policy for crude prices) have anything at all to do with fiscal budgets?
 
He said he was a Libertarian ,
now he's a full blown Dotardian.

today i'm pigging out on Kimchi.:strong:.

Two posts in a row of irrelevant commentary. I know that's not your record by far, but if you try to stay on subject, our conversation can be a bit more two way.
 
I note that Congressman Dave Brat stated that if the economy grows at 2.7 percent this year the tax cuts will have paid for themselves.

Off course this new spending bill makes determining if the tax cuts paid for themselves with growth very difficult to determine... once again.
