Deficit slashed in HALF by DARK BRANDON

Cawacko is right. The deficit did not decline because of anything Biden did but because of the end of spending programs.

The deficit through August in 2021 was $2.7 trillion and the 2022 deficit for the same period is $946 billion. It is not hard to reduce the deficit when you are starting from such a high figure caused by excessive spending by Trump and Biden.

I think the Treasury should be promoting the buying of Treasury Securities and Savings Bonds again.

I remember there was a program where we could purchase savings bonds in the classroom back when I was in school- A LONG TIME AGO.

Just something that I think would help!

We need to invest in our own government!
 
So we pass a massive (unnecessary) stimulus package in 2021 (hello inflation) and now the deficit is reduced because it's no longer on the books. And that's to be celebrated as some sign of fiscal discipline?

The headline is equivalent to the phrase of people being distracted by shiny objects.

I almost hope the GOP take the house and Senate. They'll only drag is into the red further proving tax cuts for the rich benefits one group: The rich.

GOP'ers are so stupid.
 
The U.S. budget deficit was sliced in half for fiscal 2022, the biggest drop in history following two years of huge Covid-related spending.



They lied about it when Clinton did it too


Then tried to claim the results years later


Even though not one Republican voted for it


Gore had to add his vote to take it over the top

Looks like "Brandon" knows what he's doing, eh?

Those treasuries are in high demand again due to higher interest rates. The increased demand for the dollar has caused the value to increase the highest in 20 years.

If we sell more bonds it just means we are borrowing more money.

Even with the student loan forgiveness, that's pretty crazy.

But I predict nothing but bitching and moaning from the right because Biden did it. Remember, even Trump thinks the economy does better under Democrats.

The 2022 fiscal year saw $4.896 trillion in revenue against $6.272 trillion in outlays. The outlays number represented about a $550 billion decline in spending but an $850 billion increase in revenue. The revenue total is by far the highest ever for the U.S. government.

It's liberal math. So, in October 2021, they pass the massive $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief bill called the American Rescue Plan. Then the Bipartisan infrastructure bill of $1.2 trillion. Then the scaled back Build Back Better plan of around $500 billion. Total; $3.6 trillion. This is future spending versus fiscal year spending. So even though we are being told that the 2021 deficit was $2.8 Trillion, and that figure will be HALF for 2022 or $1.4 Trillion, it is only because the actual outlays of these massive spending bills will occur in the following year or two.

Nothing has been cut in half. That's absurd and false. :palm:

Revenue increased as a result of the closures being lifted, you dumb shit. It wasn't an indicator of growth. But we outspent that amount by nearly $1.4 trillion with more to come in this coming fiscal year.

There is nothing "good" about trillion-dollar deficits by any stretch of imagination. Biden didn't "cut" anything. Democrats spent like drunken sailors this year and we will be feeling the effects for the next years to come with no discernable benefit.

You're really stupid and mentally handicapped. :palm:

I believe the current deficit is $1.375 trillion. So by historical standards still massive but half of what is was last year.

The numbers are the numbers in that the deficit fell because the stimulus spending from the prior year expired. But you add in political partisanship and people are losing their minds here.
