O/U on Narional Debt in 2020...

[Th'Pusher]

After Trump's term. I have the over/under at $25 Trillion. Who takes the over, who takes the under?

If current trends persist, that could be easily surpassed.

Yeah, if you use Karl Rove or Hillary Clinton math...

[Th'Pusher]

If current trends persist, that could be easily surpassed.

Why would the current trend persist? Republicans now control the legislature and executive branch.

Judicial and states too. They have absolutely no one to blame if they can't turn around the country considering they overwhelmingly control it now.

Challenge accepted.

I'll take the side that says you won't bump this if you're wrong if you're even around in 2020.

[Quadzilla99]

have you ever bumped your failed predictions?

:lol

[Nbadan]

Trump would be the first GOP President in decades to hold the debt under 1 trillion per year if this is true....I'll take the over..

[DMC]

have you ever bumped your failed predictions?

I don't recall any.

St Ronnie's and dubya's regimes both increased debt by 2x and 3x.

I don't see why Don The Con's regime would break with the "fiscally conservative" tradition.

[CosmicCowboy]

Ill take the over. Trump isn't a deficit hawk. It's damn expensive to make America great again and interest rates are going up.

I don't recall any.

Your friend in Gold making a killing after the election. It's somewhere in the same thread where I stated he would take all my money indirectly. We were both wrong. I'm happy about being dead wrong.

His sales went up 4x. He made a killing. It's not the price of gold, it's the speculation. You get paid for a transaction.

Ohhh.

So he did speculate himself?

I thought it was akin to a huge take.
Sales going up 4x in a short period?

Still waiting for you to show me where I was wrong.

19.8T now.

25T means a year over year increase of about 9% on average.

Hard to know what the Trump shit-show will produce. My gut says the GOP will do another round of budget busting tax cuts.

I'll take over, since Taxes will be cut, services will be cut, but not as fast as taxes, and a good chance for a recession will depress revenues even further.

[pgardn]

Still waiting for you to show me where I was wrong.

You explained yourself.
I got that.

May I humbly be allowed to ask more questions?

"That plan was also much more expensive: It would have added at least $10 trillion to the debt over a decade, even after factoring in added growth"
