    You pretend to worry about debt while advocating free healthcare for illegals, free college tuition for all, reparations for slavery, even though no one alive either was a slave or owned a slave, open borders and cancellation of all student debt.
    No complaints when Obama was throwing money around. You're sincerity is so obvious.

    I do not advocate for free health care for illegals

    I guess you are advocating for unnecessary medical procedures like mandatory vaginal probes for women that neither the doctor nor they want

    the truth is, the trillion a year increase happened under Bush, find out what changed then and change it back - hint, tax cuts for the rich and two 10+ year wars

    Obama was reducing the deficit, but Trump is throwing money around while decreasing tax revenues. Do you care?

    Back in 2012, both Geithner and Lew estimated the cost of renewing the Bush tax cuts at $3 trillion over 10 years,
    excluding the top 5%, $2.4 trillion over 10 years. Where was the outrage?

    I'm sure the Feds will print up trillions of dollars to prop up Trump's economy like they did for eight years for the Obama economy.

    Trump's 5% cut across government is just an APPEASMENT cut, and he knows that a 10% cut would lower his 3% GDP rate.

    For anyone's info, the most effective deficit reduction plan, implemented in the 90's, WOULD NOT balance today's budget within 20 years.

    Just as much as you care about deficits. What's every Dem hopeful running on? Free stuff and more free stuff. All trying to be the one who promises the most free stuff.

    We will eventually stiff the lenders and they will move away from the dollar as an international currency. That would be the end of printing dollars without serious consequence. We will fold. No question about it. The question is when will it happen.
