The Democrats should be all over TV ranting about this. They have to learn how to make an ISSUE out of something. Ram this down his throat . . . all he does is brag about his achievements . . . And this is one of his biggest

2. I agree

And their plans to destroy Social Security too. Remember he also claimed better and lower costing health care, covering more and everyone covered, but he and the gop lied and are instead taking all health care away from the people.

3. The budget for each year is set the year before

...but of course you and your friends know that.

4. KGOP republicans are steadily weakening America

This is just the latest. The KGOP republicans have undermined all of America's Intelligence Agencies, alienated America's friends and allies, gotten illicitly cozy with murderous despots around the globe (Saudis, North Korea, russia) reduced our national capacity to reckon with climate chaos, and totally trashed the moral power and prestige of the USA with their degenerate ethics and behavior.

republicans have also undone all the good the Obama Administration did to strengthen America's economy, and now they have racked up the BIGLIEST budget deficit of all. Super sad.

The next time you hear a republican claiming to be "conservative" and "patriotic" you can laugh in their lying face.

5. Mr. Bankruptcy is taking US there!

Wonder if Mr. Bankruptcy still plans to give the wealthiest another tax cut before the end of this year?!

6. today we have $1.5 BILLION A DAY ON interest payments on the Federal Debt which could

explode the budget deficit to $2 TRILLION dollars with any significant rise in interest/bond rates


The excuse GOP looking for to trash social security, medicare and medicaid as we know it. All to protect bush and trump's taxcuts and shield the wealthy.
