what's the problem you think you have?
Repugs' "deficits don't matter"
What are the possible implications if it keeps rising? Where can we cut spending? Do we raise taxes?

Stop investigations
Stop giving illegals money
Stop tv cable service in jails
Stop serving more the 75 years for crime just shoot them instead with bullets(cheaper then drugs)
If USA helps foreign country say ok wipe our debt we owe then we will help your country
USA first
There is no solution. Neither party actually gives a about debt anymore because we are hooked on that spending crack. We will keep doing it as long as we can still borrow money.
Trash promised the scam tax cut would increase tax revenue but it has remained flat even as economy grows, thanks to the scam tax cut.
The government set a record with a $234 billion deficit in February
The $544 billion deficit is up 39 percent from the corresponding period one year ago. For February, the government spent $401 billion and brought in $167 billion in revenue.

the oligarchy's scam tax cut is $1.5T over 10 years
Default on social security
Cut VA benefits. Maintain strong military/defense system, but slash benefits. Those are warriors out there, not mercenaries. Benefits/salaries etc. account for over 70% of the military budget, rather than the actual practical part of the military.
Eliminate Medicaid. Medicare stays.
Eliminate frivolous expenditures and foreign aid that is not closely vested in US interests. Commit to stop policing the world.
What does that even mean?
No more SS benefits. And from 1/1/2020 onwards, no more SS taxes because no more SS benefits. Everyone who previously paid SS taxes will just consider that as courtesy money paid to the gov't.
And who enacts this law?
Congress, and Trump signs it. Bipartisanship.
Also, place strict regulations on colleges/universities such that there is a salary cap on lecturers, execs, deans, and other staff in the schools and set a maximum price on an undergraduate education. So little to no student loans are required for a degree. But also, eliminating the Federal Pell Grant system and the FAFSA.
I'm sure they'll get right on that.
Social security would remain solvent for the foreseeable future by using means testing to determine the level of benefits and removing the $250K cap on income
You just knocked the debt down by about 0.3%. Keep going s.
ducks thinks these 5 things make up 90% of the U.S. budget. true story
How can I post not post votingrepublican.jpeg every time I see him with posts like thisGuy thinks convicts getting cable tv is why we are $22 trillion in debt. Posts two lines blaming illegals/foreigners, talks about capital punishment, then blames the Mueller Investigation which cost less than the money it brought in
It's like a random culling of Daily Wire clickbait headlines swirling around in his head at any one time and then they just spill out onto the computer in the form of a post
I doubt that even makes up 0.3%
Taxing rich people at 100% wouldn't do it. The two sides may have different priorities but neither side will ever balance the budget fo one year, much less reduce the deficit.
Bankruptcy isn't all that bad. It just means you won't be able to get a loan for 7 years.
My favorite part of this is cutting veteran benefits but not our precious weapons, many of which we never use.
We have to make sure Raytheon still gets paid, but the soldiers.
Read MY list then
We must maintain the #1 military force (by a large shot) in the world if we are to remain the #1 economy and #1 superpower. That is a must. Though lowering Raytheon, Martin Marietta, Lockheed Martin subsidies is an option too, if they are at all public sector. But a lot of that is private sector.
Soldiers fight for the good of their country and the intrinsic rewards that come with that, not the extrinsic stuff. Sure, free education is a good thing too, that's part of why I recommended placing an iron fist over the ed-up university education industry.
Hi. clinton and gingrich did it for like 5 years in the 1990s.
And they are so old now they cant pop wood with 100mg of viagra.
Neither side will ever do it now. No matter which side they are on there are political third rails driving the deficits that are basically untouchable.
