US government is running out of money faster than expected, Mnuchin warns

[PoliTalker]

Because, you know, there has never been a good answer to that one.

Not when it is supported by all other sources with none disputing it.

I just disputed it for the reasons I just gave, dumbass. You cannot use Wikipedia as a reference with me. I won't accept it.

I'm sure you do not have a list of recessions that differs from that presented. If you do, you are unwilling to post it.

I'm not the one making the argument. YOU are. You falsified your own argument with your own data.

The only thing you are right about is my lack of knowledge of Hawaiian.

Thought so. I lived in Hawaii for a time. The word 'wiki' means to hurry. Wikipedia uses the word in its name to indicate the speed of lookup it provides. Typically, the word is used twice in a sentence in Hawaiian, such as, "Wiki wiki, holo mai ke kai eʻe!".

It matches your knowledge of constitutional law.

A constitution is the ONLY reference of constitutional law.

I never suggested that we know any cause of recessions--especially tax rates. You are mixing me up with another poster or your memory is failing you again.

Nope. It is YOU that made the argument. I assumed you rescinded it later. That's allowed, you know.

I would just like to know how Republicans expect to lower the deficit during a recession if they can't even do it during a boom.

They don't.

Sure there is. Neither Democrats nor Republicans have any interest in lowering the deficit, despite what either party tries to claim.

You did not dispute the list of recessions. You only questioned Wikipedia as a source. That means if Wikipedia said Donald Trump was elected president in 2016 you would also dispute that because of the source. However, the source was correct in that case just as my list of recessions was correct.

You did not dispute the list of recessions.

Yes I did.

You only questioned Wikipedia as a source.

I still do.

That means if Wikipedia said Donald Trump was elected president in 2016 you would also dispute that because of the source.

False dichotomy fallacy.

However, the source was correct in that case just as my list of recessions was correct.

False equivalence fallacy. False dichotomy fallacy. Compositional error fallacy.

Funny how every time an (R) president does the tax cut thing, this stuff happens. Not funny ha-ha, though.

Funny how every time tax cuts increase revenues to federal coffers, libs still blame the tax cuts.

So you prefer a debt crash instead of a cash crash, yes?

Is that an answer?

[Flash]

Nope. It is YOU that made the argument. I assumed you rescinded it later. That's allowed, you know.

I never suggested any theories for the cause of recessions. There was nothing to rescind.

I would ask you to show us the post where I made that argument, but you always tell others to submit proof of posts which never existed.

Yes I did.

I still do.

Refresh our memories. Which recession (years) did you dispute? What was the error in the list you claim was not a recession or a recession that was not listed?

I bet you will not give us an answer.

Funny how every time tax cuts increase revenues to federal coffers, libs still blame the tax cuts.

I've notice that. They don't consider the spending increases.

Is that an answer?

Seems to be YOUR answer. You seem to prefer a debt crash to a cash crash, yes?

"The U.S. national debt has reached a new milestone, topping $22 trillion for the first time.

"On Tuesday, the Treasury Department's daily statement reported the total outstanding public debt stands at $22.012 trillion. That number is more than $2 trillion higher than when President Donald Trump took office on Jan. 20, 2017. The debt stood at $19.95 trillion at that time.

"The national debt is the total of the annual budget deficits, and it has grown at an accelerated pace since Trump signed a $1.5 trillion tax overhaul into law in December 2017 and Congress increased domestic and military spending last year."

Lie.

Nah. Anyone that wants to can go hunt it down for themselves.

You rescinded your earlier argument. Now you are trying to defend it??? It's rescinded! ...or is it?
