        You should really cite your source when making factual claims so that people are more inclined to believe what you post.📚📖🙂

        Where’s the Tea Party again? Oh yeah, they conveniently disbanded when the black guy left the White House. It seems their hatred for him had nothing to do with the debt or deficit🤔 RIP(iss) Tea Party, Feb 18, 2009 - Jan 20, 2017

        Don't worry. He'll reduce it by slashing entitlements, and then lie about it.

        Ppl don't understand that, they think "big deal, so what if the deficit goes up, it won't affect me" We need a source that "Connects the Dots" so ppl understand how one thing that they may not care at all about will actually negatively or positively affect them.pic.twitter.com/4QqAoznsHZ

        Replying to @katiecannon2 @tuffpaw and

        2/. The Republicans Know this, which is why they knew they could cut taxes and increase government spending st the same time. They will slash social spending because they want us to be debt peons for private banks

        But if they cut entitlements, they're also cutting the cash available for the discretionary spending that maintains the economy.

        In other news, the private sectors surplus increased 17%. Unfortunately this mainly enriched the upper echelons of society as self serving politicians keep being voted into power. Don't fear the deficit, fear who the corresponding surplus is continuously handed to.

        Anyone with a basic understanding of economics and finance saw this outcome, despite the gaslighting by the current GOP administration. Vote accordingly if you really care about your economic future.

        The national debt went up . We don’t collect enough money from corporations to pay our bills. They get to keep more to buy back stocks and give extra bonus to the board and the tax cuts didnt trickle down .
