April was best month in history for U.S. budget, according to CBO figures

Well, glad to see that the CBO can at least COUNT REAL NUMBERS, better than they can "PREDICT" anything.

Getting the popcorn for an enjoyable session of reading the "leftsplaining" about how "bad" this really is. Should be hilarious!!

April was best month in history for U.S. budget, according to CBO figures

The federal government took in a record tax haul in April en route to its biggest-ever monthly budget surplus, the Congressional Budget Office said, as a surging economy left Americans with more money in their paychecks — and this more to pay to Uncle Sam.

All told the government collected $515 billion and spent $297 billion, for a total monthly surplus of $218 billion. That swamped the previous monthly record of $190 billion, set in 2001.

CBO analysts were surprised by the surplus, which was some $40 billion more than they’d guessed at less than a month ago.

Analysts said they’ll have a better idea of what’s behind the surge as more information rolls in, but for now said it looks like individual taxpayers are paying more because they have higher incomes.

And now, the Big Government propagandists at the CBO, will set about trying to DOWNPLAY the obvious economic growth on the heels of the tax cuts. Should be as funny as the impending left-frenzy here desperately trying to deny/downplay the GREAT NEWS....


....and there goes that Big Democrat Wave....

 

Democrats will refuse to read it.

 

Complete cricket factory from the MSM on this=) Not a single mention from any of them for the 1st two pages on Google. Stopped clicking after that.

 

For now, anyway ; their Soros-funded masters are having a hard time keeping up with all the talking points/buzz words SPOONFEEDINGS of the Ant Colony, what with the Witch Hunt SLAPDOWN, the evolving Korean situation, the President keeping ANOTHER PROMISE, and getting us out of the ASININE , Obamidiot Iran Deal, the BOOMING ECONOMY, ALL the Trump-backed candidates WON EASILY yesterday, ( the Vaunted Democrat Wave not even a ripple in puddle at this point ) ...and now, this.

OH NO...now, it just broke that the N.Korean-held US hostages are COMING HOME WITH POMPEO!! (So , likely , another delay in the Ant Colony Liespeak talking points !! )

I'm hoping they'll have some ridiculous nonsense on the embarrassing ( for them! ) topic of this thread, for us to beat them over their heads with shortly !!!

 

Google, Facebook, MSM, and others help the usual suspects '...know so much that isn't so', as Ronnie Reagan so humorously put it decades ago.

 

" All told the government collected $515 billion and spent $297 billion, for a total monthly surplus of $218 billion. That swamped the previous monthly record of $190 billion, set in 2001."

BOTH RECORD SURPPLUSES following big GOP tax cuts being passed....before SPENDING could eat them up.

Must still CUT SPENDING....massively....

 

If they're having surpluses, that means taxes are still too high. slash it to the bone!

 

I'm sure that scheduled spending will soon eat that up...time to CUT SPENDING...and then MORE tax cuts...

 

Republicans can douse themselves in champaign as they watch the remaining physical year in debt for 800 billion-rah!

 

Oh look!!! The first DESPERATE attempt at a response. MADEUP BULLSHIT, vs the REAL ,CURRENT NUMBERS.

Man, I almost feel sorry for the Ant Colony....

 

The local left's thunderous response:

 

Lol, now you cite CBO numbers when Pres Obama was in office they were all fake numbers. Smfh.

 

Bullshit. Silly attempted deflection.

CBO PREDICTIONS ARE BULLSHIT under ANY POTUS, and ALWAYS promote BIG GOVERNMENT.

This is not one of their PREDICTIONS; these are the ACTUAL NUMBERS. They haven't figured out a way to LIE about those , yet.

Try actually READING.

The poor Ant Colony is foundering badly....funny...

 

More bullshit, you called actual numbers fake when Obama was in office now you are singing a different tune.

 

The REAL NUMBERS, are the real numbers.

Which of these happened under Obama?


" All told the government collected $515 billion and spent $297 billion, for a total monthly surplus of $218 billion. That swamped the previous monthly record of $190 billion, set in 2001."

BOTH RECORD SURPPLUSES following big GOP tax cuts being passed.

 

And CBO projects a full-year deficit of $804 billion in 2018

this is $200 billion more than Obama's final year.

And, as I said in the OP:

"Well, glad to see that the CBO can at least COUNT REAL NUMBERS, better than they can "PREDICT" anything."


April was best month in history for U.S. budget, according to CBO figures. (note: NOT A PREDICTION, but what ACTUALLY HAPPENED)


CBO analysts were surprised by the surplus, which was some $40 billion more than they’d guessed at less than a month ago.



Der...the ACTUAL NUMBERS do not lie...the CBO's GUESSES ALWAYS DO.


It's like playing "Whack-a-Mole" with a baby...

 

$804 billion deficit for 2018 is horrible.

thanks Trump

 

So the only Americans are Trumpers.

 

posting facts bro, just the facts.

a $800 billion deficit is horrible.

 

And the ones not rooting for North Korea , and the economy dumping because Hillary lost.

 

let us know when we have a deal with NK that NK actually complies with and the USA doesn't give away the kitchen sink

 

Who is rooting for NK and Hilliary is old news unless you are a Trumper.

 

Like Obama did to Iran. .. like Bill clinton did with North korea... please !

 

Only in Trumpland is a monthly surplus of $218 billion more important than a yearly deficit of $800 billion.

LOL!!!!
