Am I the only one who has noticed that the only two numbers the President can recall with regularity, are 700 billion and 716 billion. :doh

This is a political forum that is non-biased/non-partisan and treats every person's position on topics equally. This debate forum is not aligned to any political party. In today's politics, many ideas are split between and even within all the political parties. Often we find ourselves agreeing on one platform but some topics break our mold. We are here to discuss them in a civil political debate. If this is your first visit to our political forums, be sure to check out the RULES.

Cannot help but notice a bunch of liberal/progressive/radicals now all upset over the deficit after enduring Obama's four straight years of trillion dollar deficits with not a peep! It does seem that a group of radicals who never saw a dollar that they wouldn't spend are now upset

Last year, we secured a historic $700 billion to rebuild our military. And now the National Defense Authorization Act paves the way for 1,700 — listen to this now. So we’ve been trying to get money. They never gave us money for the military for years and years. And it was depleted. We got $700 billion. And next year, already approved, we have $716 billion to give you the finest planes and ships and tanks and missiles anywhere on earth.”
— President Trump, speaking to Army soldiers at Fort Drum, N.Y., on Monday
