        @POTUS44 left a $500+ billion and growing deficit over the next ten years, in addition to adding more debt ($10 trillion) than all of the 43 Presidents that preceded him. And you are worried about another $150 billion per year? Really?

        Interest on the treasuries that was sold to pay for Bush wars and tax cuts is what blew up the debt. Do some research. Deficit spending was cut in half under Obama. You borrow money to pay for a crisis. You don't borrow money to pay for a tax cut in a strong global economy

        ROTFLMAO. Do you know how much interest payments are! Do you know how much Dubya added to debt? Obviously not. Cite some facts. You can't. SAD.

        Is there ever a right time?? We need to stop spending more than we take in! The current course we’re on is unsustainable and a serious threat to our country!

        Stop spending on entitlements folks, it’s the only way to get US debt and deficits under control. There is not enough in earnings in the US to pay for everything politicians have given away

        It was fine to do for the eight years of Obama's presidency & Bush, Clinton & so on? Trump already cut in half the growth in the $1.1 TRILLION national debt that Obama added in his last year (down to $546.4 billion). Dems will NEVER support spending cuts.

        Tax cuts didn't mean to be job or welfare cuts so government needs to borrow more. Increasing the rates shouldn't mean to increase deficit. If you inject huge money in one period the danger of inflation or bubbling would be higher so the higher rates lower that danger.

        Speaking of Trump's financial expertise... - Exactly how does a country declare bankruptcy anyway?

        Please do some research on interest on 10 year notes that was sold during Bush years. Obama cut deficit spending in half. 10 year Treasuries (debt) sold under Bush blew up deficits under Obama. You borrow money in strong economy!
