Trump and congressional leaders announce critical debt and budget deal (debt ceiling raised AGAIN)
« on: July 23, 2019, 02:40:28 am »

Donald Trump and congressional leaders announced Monday that they had struck a critical debt and budget agreement. The deal amounts to an against-the-odds victory for Washington pragmatists seeking to avoid a politically dangerous tumult over the possibility of a government shutdown or the first-ever federal default.

The deal, announced by Trump on Twitter and in a statement by the Democratic House speaker, Nancy Pelosi, and the Senate Democratic leader, Chuck Schumer, will restore the government’s ability to borrow to pay its bills past next year’s elections and build upon recent large budget gains for the Pentagon and domestic agencies.

“I am pleased to announce that a deal has been struck,” Trump tweeted, saying there will be no “poison pills” added to follow-up legislation. “This was a real compromise in order to give another big victory to our Great Military and Vets!”

Oh yeah a victory?  Sounds like Trump likes to spend as recklessly as Michael Jackson.  More social programs and spending on Illegal immigrants.

Alexander Acosta Labor Secretary resigned under pressure concerning his "sweetheart deal" with Jeffrey Epstein.  He was under consideration for AG after Sessions was removed, but was forced to resign instead.

And, if the King of Pop’s debt load became unmanageable, only he would’ve paid the consequences

@Chosen Daughter
The citizens were robbed even before President Tweety (or any other president or Congress) spent the money. The theft is called taxation.  wink777

Sorry kids, the budget war is lost and everyone is covered in turd on this, Dems and Reps alike.

So I guess politically I've done a tactical retreat and retrenched, and mainly see the GOP now as a something to block the Dems from power so that I don't have mass mob death squads at my door trying to kill me and burn down my house.

And if we're lucky, being completely overrun by illegals.
