Whatever you wish to blame, something has to be subtracted from the coming budgets, or the debt will continue to spiral. We'll need defense cuts, entitlement reform, tax hikes, or a combination thereof. Nondefense discretionary spending is around $610 billion. Some of that can be eliminated with different leadership. It certainly won't happen (to any meaningful extent) with Trump in the white house. Last I checked, he plans to bloat infrastructure spending after the midterms.
Some "expenses' items,
are subtracted from the budget. Redundant fed jobs, waste in Gov. 8 YEARS with Obama we NEVER had a budget. Harry Reid, let it all ride. Some never understand it is on CONGRESS.
NO DEFENSE CUTS! That is suicide for our country & Obama did that. Sequester. We were down to 1915 standards in the military. What entitlement reform?
List it.What do you want done? CLINTON took our PAID IN social security, matched by employer, made it part of the general budget, bingo surplus.Then spent. Congress left people, who said into S.S. for 40 years, an I.O.U. That has to be returned. Not on president Trump. Entitled medicare=welfare?
Congress is what needs to be changed, not my president! Did you run for president, so you, can do all the things you said? do you realize there are other people in this country that will block those goals? Same thing, DEMOCRATS, RINOS are doing to President TRUMP. RINO, traitor McCain who voted "no" on obamcare repeal, after running on that, was the ONE vote, that cost us one trillion dollars. That was the no vote by McCain...no name. Screwed over the American people.
You don't think that will go on, with anything you laid out, as a plan? So easy to talk. Do you have an addiction? JUST STOP.
DO YOU WANT TO LOSE WEIGHT?. Stop eating. So easy. Are you an alcoholic? Just stop drinking.
If it all was, only, on president TRUMP, more could be done, but he has to work with...CONGRESS. He wants something, democrats put in what THEY want.
Constant negotiations. Do you want president TRUMP to be a dictator? I would like that, but we are a republic, not democracy, either.
BTW, My president does not smoke, drink any alcohol, nor does illegal drugs! Very pure.
