But this is big news. If congress was passing laws instead conducting witch hunts they could be spending it.

Oh wait...that might be a good thing! :)

Post by: austingirl on May 11, 2019, 02:44:49 pm: Yet they will spend it all and more. The debt continues to climb and this number isn't even a fraction of 1% of it (if my math is right.)

Post by: jmyrlefuller on May 11, 2019, 02:50:26 pm: All those taxes that came in when they were due April 15 will have that effect. It still doesn't come close to canceling out the trillion-dollar deficit the other 11 months of the year.

This is such a dishonest headline.

Post by: ABX on May 11, 2019, 03:03:26 pm: Every freaking year, the same article in April... And the same cluelessness.

The treasury always takes in more revenue in April, it is when taxes are due...

This isn't MAGA, it is when the crown tells you to pay tribute.

And to laugh that Hannity is pushing it.
