Link?

I am sure deficit reduction is the number one thing on the Democratic House's mind including that darling Cortez

Never once claimed that it was. However, i have been pointing out the hypocrisy of the GOP with each passing quarter.

Certainly have which is why I support the 2019 budget and will then hold Trump accountable for spending, Hard to do when he doesn't have spending authority, isn't it?

I didn't even mention Trump in the post you've decided to quote. Once again:

Why haven't you taken the GOP controlled Congress to task for growing debt by $1.35+ trillion in FY 2018? A few years ago, you would have claimed that figure was really the deficit. Now you've abandoned said definition. Why? Because you lack integrity as a poster.

Look, not sure what your problem is but getting tired of the 24/7 attacks on Trump with no context. You can attack the GOP Congress until hell freezes over but most are just part of the establishment. Democrats now control the House are you going to hold them accountable for their spending bills?

Without a link, you have nothing but your word. Which is worthless here @ DP.

Hypocrisy and blind loyalty is noted.

When have i claimed the President spends money without Congressional approval? NEVER!

Why did the GOP allow for deficit growth of this magnitude? :lamo

Both parties do it. They are laughing at all of us. They pit us against each other and do unethical things behind are backs.

Do you know what a fact is?? Treasury data is fact, media reports are opinions. Facts win debates opinions lose

Keep spinning the same old nonsense. Facts - Republican presidents have raised deficit spending consistently since the 1980s. Keep living in your denial, lying la-la land.

None will ever exceed Obama's 9.3 trillion added to the debt but as usual you don't even understand deficit spending and what caused the deficit to go up. Presidents have zero spending authority without Congress and if you are going to blame Trump for the deficit then give him a budget or put the blame where it belongs ON CONGRESS

Exactly.

The democrats o their first day, introduced an entirely different budget that the senate still has to read before they vote on it. How many thousands of pages...

Idiots will blame those they don't like. President Trump holds no blame until the bill is on his desk.

Interesting contradiction.

One party forced a government shutdown over concerns of debt, deficits, and spending. Such hypocrisy cannot fly under the radar.

This past few 30 or more posts entirely avoids the conversation on why the Debt held by the Public and Total Debt is taking off under Trump.

Why shouldn't it? If the government does it's enumerated functions, money will be spent.

This is really only an issue for partisan reasons.

Combine GW Bush's worst presidential pass-on since the Great Depression with the fact that EVERY Republican president in recent history, including Chump, cannot balance the budget, and you're looking at the most inept political Party in the history of the US.

Because we're spending too much. And most of it is outside of enumerated functions.

Another cut and paste that defies the actual results thus making it a lie

It's ot the president's job to balance the budget. Congress is responsible. I see you need a refresher in civics, and well as basic math.

That's relative. If the government wants to do more, it will spend more. There is nothing surprising about that.

No you need a lesson in Civics. A good, efficient president works with Congress, and often even presents a suggested budget to Congress. You are removed from reality.

You will have to answer that question because that is what you do by ignoring the official data posted. It truly is sad to see you so poorly informed on the actual results being generated as hatred has blinded you to reality. Trump's economy has generated over 2 trillion dollars to GDP in 2 years, the best results in U.S. History along with 4.7 million jobs, the most jobs created in the first two years of any President's Administration, again the best performance in history

You just are incapable of admitting when wrong
 
Bet that warms the hearts of fiscal conservatives.
