    Default Deficit increase 33% since 2017 thanks to tax cuts

    I'm old enough to remember Conservatives stapling teabags to their faces and screaming about deficits.

    Now, they are silent.

    Obama inherited the largest deficit ever at $1.4T, and reduced it down to $660B by the time he left office.

    It took Conservatives only two years to get the deficit back up to ~$1T.

    U.S. budget deficit to top $1 trillion in 2020, two years sooner than expected

    There you go LYING again. Revenue is higher after the tax cut. Deficits are not about REVENUE, but rather SPENDING. Of course, we could try to beat the OBVIOUS into that bone head of yours but to no avail because there is nothing between your ears but HOT air.

    Where are the tea bag protests against fiscal mismanagement and massive deficits?

    They're waiting for Trump to be gone so they can go into their closets to dig up and dust off their tricorner hats, and then locate their staplers to affix teabags to their faces.

    Wait - so the Tea Bag party itself creates massive deficits and plunges us into a state of utter fiscal mismanagement - but then they try to blame it on Democrats?

    It seems like only persons of utter dishonesty and willfull deception would try to do that?

    The worst deficits in American history were Obama's. I don't recall you crying out against his fiscal calamity. Why is that?

    When Trump wins re-election, I imagine you will still be here lying and crying and desperately continue to removing any doubt what an uneducated, lying, hypocritical dumb fuck you are.

    No, dishonest partisan hack idiots like you who defended massive deficits and a state of utter fiscal mismanagement under Obamunism now pretend to care about them.

    Very true; so here you an LV426 are illustrating that perfectly.

    I was on this board during the Tea Bag protests in 2009.

    I am pretty sure I elicited howls of protest from Righty for having the temerity to suggest the tea bag protests were completely disingenuous. That the teabaggers did not care one whit about deficits; they only cared that a black Democrat was inaugurated on Jan. 20, 2009, and that was their real grievance.

    Between the howls of protest, I had many a wingnut assure me that the Tea Bag protests were genuine, the anger was heart felt, and the protests were based on legitimate grievances.
