      The U.S. government is now more than $20 trillion in debt. We closed fiscal year 2017 with a $666 billion deficit—the second highest annual deficit of the last five years and a figure unheard of before the Obama stimulus. https://www.facebook.com/justinamash/posts/1672100376162695 …

      In the coming weeks, it’s expected that both parties will vote to spend hundreds of billions of dollars more over the next two years, increasing spending by the largest amount since President Obama’s first term. These spending levels are unsustainable.

          The success of this Congress in “building a safe, strong, and proud America” will depend not on how “well” Republicans and Democrats choose to overspend, but on whether they can resist the urge to do so.

          1: We should stop loving war so much. 2: Have you thought about single-payer healthcare and a universal basic income as cost (and bloat and bureaucracy) eliminating options?

          As in: Replace all non-healthcare welfare with a UBI. Distribute the cash through existing infrastructure like the Post Office. Healthcare bureaucracy is ~30% of cost. Single payer eliminates that & saves all of us money. Both drastically shrink the size of the government.

          I know, right? Since property / street crimes are overwhelmingly committed by poor folk and people want to end crime, you'd think they do something about it...

          Umm... maybe you should have considered the whole spending within your means thing BEFORE you cut taxes.

          Why did you vote for tax cuts which increase the deficit then?!

          I don't get this talking point so many statists keep spouting. He's in favor of cutting taxes AND cutting spending, which would not increase the deficit. It is possible to be for both.

          I agree, but it's irresponsible to slash income before reigning in expenses. I'm not saying he's wrong to demand limited govt, I'm saying he's hypocritical about the deficit when his actions have directly led to an increase.
