Republicans have total control of the House and Senate and the White House, why is there still a deficit?

You would think the “fiscally responsible adults” would make that a priority.

    All that a person has to do is hear how Trump is the Repuklikin that is in the white house for them, and that should be all it takes to know just how in Trumps mind, taking and not paying back is all that business is, especially for the government. Facts are facts, and Trump has never used anything but bad business practices, all confirmed for the number of bankruptcies he has done already.

    Because Republicans are Democrats have colluded to not change things. They both want to outsource all American jobs and insource cheap labor for those jobs remaining that cannot be shipped by transportation. Both sides are working against you. Take no pleasure in that the other side is failing because your side is not any better.

    Deficits are only bad to the party not in power. What is really screwed up is a looming government shut down wit the executive and legislative branches being in control of the same party. Just how incompetent is that?

    Let’s see shall we? House tax plan shows a new deficit of $1.5 trillion over ten years. That’s $150 billion a year. Yeah, too much, I know. But, Obama’s best deficit year? $600 billion. And the left praised him for it being so low. And that was his best year. That’s four years of the gop plan. And if the economy grows by 1% that deficit disappears.
