Trump FY 2020 Budget Deficit Sets Record--More Than Twice The Former Largest Deficit In History!

Well MAGA folks, you've got it! Trump DID run the country like his businesses! His FY 2020 Budget Deficit of $3.1 trillion was more than twice the largest deficit in history coming out of the Bush/Republican Great Recession of 2008-2011 ($1.41 trillion). That's as much in [b]one[/b] Trump Year as in the last [b]five[/b] Obama Years! And you MAGA hatters and everyone else get to pay it back! For those of you Trump cultists that still believe in or can do math, that's $9,600 for every man, woman, and child in the nation added to your debt just this past fiscal year! MAGA!

The president gets blamed for deficits and credited for surpluses, even though Congress controls the budget. I'm no Trump supporter, but even I have to admit that the current deficit was due to COVID relief funds. The same standard applies to Obama, whose first-term deficits were the result of the Great Recession that began under George W. Bush.

We're on track for a massive deficit in fiscal year 2021, and it will become a huge problem for conservatives five minutes after Joe Biden is sworn in.

@LeopoldBloom As they always do, the Republicans will use the deficit to justify cutting social programs--but ONLY when a Democrat is in the White House. When a Republican is in there, deficits don't matter at all.

@LeopoldBloom You keep thinking that, The poor Obama economy was because He's an idiot !

@Majorsite Obama cut the budget deficit by 2/3 during his two terms in office. But it only took Trump four years to expand it by a factor of over 7 times. MAGA!
@LeopoldBloom It won't be a problem for conservatives. If you look at the standard operating procedure........Reagan/Bush left more debt in those two terms than the U.S. had accumulated TOTAL for the previous 200 years...COMBINED. Who got blamed? Clinton. Then along came Jr Bush. He started two wars and created trillions in debt that then landed in Obama's lap....so it was his fault. Trump's tax scam has already cost our U.S. Treasury in excess of $2.6 to the national budget....and that was in one calendar year. The tax scam was passed with wording to make it permanent...meaning it will continue to bury us the same $2.6 trillion a year....potentially forever. But who is being blamed already for "burying us in debt if he gets his way if elected"? You bet.....Biden. Look at history....EVERY Republican president has buried us in debt and since the 1950's EVERY SINGLE DEMOCRAT president to take office has lowered it. Google it.

@windinhishair Don't know where Your getting Your bullshit facts, CNN maybe ?

@anythingoes477 You are one of the few people I've seen who actually uses the data. What you have said is true, though every Republican and Trump cultist denies the reality. Republicans fuck up the economy. Democrats come in and fix it, and then get blamed for the problem by the Republicans.

@Majorsite The General Accounting Office. That's a federal agency that is under your Lord Trump's management at the moment. The data are readily available. Even you could easily find it if you wanted to. Well, maybe not you, but most sentient people can.

@LeopoldBloom If there's Justice in this world, After Trump wins in two weeks, They should pass a constitutional provision to grant Him a third term. To make up for the one wasted by the political coup attempt !
@Majorsite Obama grew the economy after Bush crashed it. Trump merely continued the recovery that Obama began in 2009. Trump will forever be remembered as the president who mishandled the COVID crisis and crashed the economy. Unless, of course, you're a cult member who thinks COVID doesn't exist and Trump is the greatest man since Jesus Christ. Heck, maybe greater. I like leaders who don't get crucified.
@Majorsite If he loses, are you going to emigrate? Good luck finding a country where guns are legal, abortion is illegal, with no national health care system. Somalia or Afghanistan maybe.

Since it's hard to amend the Constitution, you'd probably be OK with Twitler wiping his ass with it and just declaring himself emperor.
@windinhishair There is only one truth now.......since the cult found their Jesus on Earth...facts don't exist and anyone who uses them must be a liar. If it's a lie...OMG I JUST KNEW IT.......if it's truth...FAKE NEWS.

The cult has ZERO problem believing in porn rings in the basements of pizza parlors that have no basements......and that there the are pedophile, baby eating cannibals living in the back rooms of the White House that O-N_L-Y the Orange God can kill...........but if you tell them...did you see this? Donnie lied to you? OMG THAT'S INCONCEIVABLE !!!!!!!!

There is a tendency to call trumpers a cult.....I do it myself. But that's incorrect. To lead a cult one has to have intelligence...charisma....a personality. All things trump lacks.....glaringly. More correctly this is a whole subculture of really poorly informed people who hate themselves...their lives...everything that they themselves are and trump came along to blame openly the same people they want to blame for their own sad lives. So the Mexicans stole their jobs......and the Muslim are taking away our religion...and the gays are stealing marriage.....and the blacks get all the breaks.....and the kids in cages? They have it coming. Oh.....and the Jews took all of the money. So what's left in their sad lives? The hope trump can kill the Jews and put the blacks back into chains and the gays can be punished, and then finally.....finally...they can all be millionaires.........because all along it was someone else's fault that their lives suck.

That gullibility and denial and lack of education and willingness to believe that Donnie is their true Lord and Savior ...... is why we're where we are. In 18 days Trump will be flushed away to the sewer he came from....and belongs back in..........but the damage to America is----the cult worship of a con artist. That is something that will plague America for years to come.
@Majorsite Typical Fascist trumper. Advocate we abolish the Constitution so your god can take permanent rule. And then you all have the balls to call yourselves the "Constitutional Patriots". What a joke.
