    The federal deficit ballooned to $779 billion in the just-ended fiscal year — a remarkable tide of red ink for a country not mired in recession or war.https://n.pr/2CiHqhr

        Yes and GW kept that war “off the books.” Obama put it back and the GOP began screaming about deficits. They are suspiciously silent now. War is part of it, but tax cuts to the rich are more of it.

        What's your point? Should we give more money to rich people for zero reason?

        Meaning the wars are contributing to the deficit also and no we should not give more money to the rich

        No, I got it. But what's ballooning the deficit is the tax cut. And they will come after entitlements next. Why anyone votes republican is beyond me.

        Tax cut isn't factored into this number until next years, but with more people working nationwide, more money will go to the Government then the tax cuts will miss. With more people working there will be more spending, with more spending more jobs, more jobs more taxes paid

        Big business pays less taxes thanks to the GOP priorities. The people of this country continue to pay more in taxes, medical insurance, as we lose income due to tariffs imposed, lose medical benefits, with a deteriorating environment. Now they are taking away our right to vote

        That's not even close to being true. Less than 50% is owed to foreign countries. But you thank Obama for adding 10 trillion to the debt.

        I'm sure the GOP's next step will be to come after old folks living on social security and Medicare.
