State of the Union math

I'm glad big-spending Obama is out office with his big-spending agenda that reduced the deficit by 2/3 during his tenure.

 

Trump spelled out his fiscally conservative agenda for the upcoming year:

 

- 1.5 trillion infrastructure bill

- 25 billion for THe WALL

- release the military sequestor and rebuild America's entire nuclear arsenal

- Federal Job training programs

- Federal Opiod intervention programs

- Increase to border partol agents

- Removed the timeline on Afghanistan occupation

 

 

And how is it paid for?   The same way Repuiblicans pay for everything.   Its called DYNAMIC SCORING.   You can revisit the last Republican President's econommic legacy to see how it plays out.

After tripling the deficit to $1.5trillion pj is bragging about Obama cutting the deficit back to the levels it was when he became president. 

 

Obama still ran the highest deficits of any president in any single year or in any term. 

 

 

 

???    I Quit reading after the 5th word in your first sentence.....   I’m afraid it has no basis in easily researched fact.

 

Yes, Tom forgets Obama came in saddled with GW's two wars and his tax cuts.  All three of which republicans promised us were going to pay for themselves.   It is the same script this time.  Starve the government of revenue and wait for a Democrat to fix it.  Then complain the whole time the Democrat is mopping up your mess.
