    Okay. Spending on healthcare is at record highs. Pharm companies are enjoying record profits.

    Please show us how we are healthier.

    Your proposal is absurd.

    He wants to direct hundreds of billions to "healthcare" which does nothing more than put people on drugs!

    I do agree with ending the war on drugs though. Imprisoning people is expensive and doesn't seem to be helping the issue.

    This from the guy who claims it doesn't matter, it's who is President that matters? Oh you are too much. Who controlled the Congress 2007-2009? Who is it you said should have vetoed the 2009 budget and therefore responsible?

    So you will support passage of the spending recessions he just sent to Congress and will urge Democrats to vote for them?

    I wish you would wish it up from your elementary school math into some actual economics. It was your claim monthly surpluses don't matter, so how do you get an annual surplus without some monthly surpluses in that year. Explain your absurd notion. Or is this another one you are going to run away from?

    You have a terrible habit of jumping into conversations you aren't part of, or have any understanding of.

    I can't dumb it down any further for you. My post was perfectly clear.

    I don't run away from you, lol. I always refute your bullshit, and you know that.

    not a bad thing, just that a single monthly surplus is meaningless. We are running an $800B deficit for fiscal year 2018.

    Again explain how you achieve anual surpluses without first achieving monthly surpluses.

    I have no obligation to address the random thoughts bouncing in your head, that are of no relevance to the thread or discussion I am having.

    I know you made a fallacious statement you are now running away from as you usually do when it comes to economic matters.

    You said monthly surpluses are of no relevance. So explain how you achieve an annual surplus without having monthly surpluses.

    you of course know that is a blatant falsehood. I run from nothing, least of all you. My post is perfectly clear. I can't understand it for you. I know how badly you struggle with basic concepts, so this appears to be too complex for you to handle.

    I understand you made a fallacious statement and now are going to run away from it. And no it is not perfectly clear how you manage create an annual surplus without having monthly surpluses.
