At this point, word that there are no more freebies to i******s is stopping them from trying to invade America. Less i******s are attempting to sneak in.

The wall hasn't wasted $ Billions. Much of it has not been built, and since when did liberals ever fret about wasting tax payer money ? The Wall if it is ever fully built will slow down i*****l i*********n. How is that waste ?

Once again tunnels and ladders are signs of a wall working. That is money diverted from other illegal activities. It is all good.

Funny how repugnants are only concerned when the president is a Dem, trump has increased the deficit to the highest levels and not a word about it

lindajoy Loc: right here with you....

Yep pretty much the same as when Obama did it no one from the Democratic Party squeaked a word about it. Politics so predictable and ridiculous.

Zemirah Loc: Sojourner En Route...

President Trump is not a pretender, unlike the entire liberal bench, he is always actively doing, pursuing, accomplishing, trying new approaches if denied the first attempt.

His "base" is composed of thinking, intelligent individuals who recognize authenticity, and choose it over duplicity.

Trump supporters use their brains.
AND it shows.

Mikeyavelli

Everyone's precious conscience holds that Trump is immoral and would rather suffer under socialism than have the most successful president in history.
A few of us disagree, and see Trump as a man who gave up a life of luxury to save his country. What surprised Trump is that he's opposed by the left and the right, as he is thwarted at the last minute by his supposed loyalists; ie, Bush Boy Barr.

"Reagan took the deficit from $70 billion to $175 billion. Bush 41 took it to $300 billion. Clinton got it to zero. Bush 43 took it from zero to $1.2 trillion. Obama halved it to $600 billion. Trump’s got it back to a trillion."

No disrespect intended but I wouldn’t believe a word from Maddow or politifact~~Not attacking your source just don’t buy into them~~

Would you consider this, moldy?? I have it bookmarked and refer to it often...find it more reliable given its source for data extraction...

Tracking the Federal Deficit: January 2020
The Congressional Budget Office reported that the federal government generated a $32 billion deficit in January, the fourth month of fiscal year 2020. January’s deficit is a $40 billion change from the $9 billion surplus recorded a year earlier in January 2019. (If not for timing shifts of certain payments, the federal government would actually have realized a $1 billion surplus in January 2020 and a $12 billion deficit in January 2019.) January’s deficit brings the total deficit so far this fiscal year to $388 billion, which is 25% ($78 billion) higher than the same period last year (or $23 billion higher once timing shifts are accounted for). Total revenues so far in FY2020 increased by 6% ($67 billion), while spending increased by 10% ($145 billion), compared to the same period last year. (After accounting for timing shifts, spending rose by 6% or $90 billion.
Analysis of Notable Trends in This Fiscal Year to Date: Through the first four months of FY2020, revenue from corporate income taxes rose by 27% ($16 billion). Additionally, Federal Reserve remittances increased by 14% ($3 billion) partly due to lower short-term interest rates that reduced its interest expenses. On the spending side, after accounting for timing shifts, total Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid outlays rose by 6% ($41 billion). Outlays for the Department of Defense rose by 7% ($14 billion), largely for procurement and research and development....~~snip~~

Methodological Note:
The monthly tracker entries report preliminary spending, revenue, and deficit data from CBO’s Monthly Budget Reviews. These summaries are released around the fifth business day of every month and preview the release of official budget data from the Treasury Department, which follows on roughly the eighth business day of every month (except end-of-year data, which tends to be released later in October). Historically, CBO’s preliminary data is accurate, often differing from Treasury’s final figures by only a few billion dollars, if at all. For example, CBO preliminarily reported that the total FY2019 deficit was $984 billion in their September 2019 review, matching the official figure that Treasury later reported.
The deficit tracker graphic is updated retroactively with official Treasury data, whereas the monthly text entries are not.

Here’s a bit of additional info you may find interesting~
I’m thinking about having a sell off to rec**p some of my money... Are you in??

Who owns the huge and growing U.S. national debt? By and large, Americans.

Some 70% of the national debt is owned by domestic government, institutions investors and the Federal Reserve. A shade under 30% is owned by foreign entities, according to the latest information from the U.S. Treasury.

The deficit is a problem. If Trump had done it the way you wanted it done, his economy would have been as bad as Obama's. In his second term Trump will tackle deficits and you guys will savage him for it. It is what you do. Spending cuts on entitlements must be done. You want the can kicked down the road and taxes raised. You say on the rich, but somehow you guys always screw the middle class. Always !

Do you seriously want what Bernie is selling ? Well do you ?
