So far Obama is the only president to run a deficit of over a Trillion dollars.

Highest ever in the history of this country. Federal Tax Receipts in 2018 (estimated) 3.40 Trillion. On track to be the next high revenue record. Yeah, Trump was right yet again. This is getting boring! Please don’t cloud their delusions with facts.... we don’t have enough safe spots or cat hats for the potential demand. That goes for you too Sudsy.....

That's what happens when you say things that aren't true, it just sounds "lefty". But it is true that last months revenues were down and spending is up.

JimW Posted June 16, 2018 Report Share Posted June 16, 2018 First half fiscal 2018 we were already at 600k deficit. May not hit 1T annual deficit until next year but this year should be solidly in 800k range. We will borrow close to 1T this year though.

Gamakatsu Posted June 16, 2018 Report Share Posted June 16, 2018 18 hours ago, epanzella said: That pattern doesn't always hold true. When George Bush signed the Tax Act of 2003 revenues steadily climbed to a peak of 2.5 trillion dollars in 2007 and 2008. Revenues under Obama dropped and didn't pass those of Bush 43 until 2013. Yes, recessions have a way decreasing revenues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do the opposite thing and get the opposite results. Obama's anti-business policies took a short recession and made it a long one. But all that's over now, we have a real president.

twilson615 Posted June 17, 2018 Report Share Posted June 17, 2018 (edited) On 6/15/2018 at 3:10 PM, JimW said: Federal revenue has declined from about 18% in 2015 to about 17.5% in 2016 to a tick over 17% of gdp in 2017. This is not increased revenue Read recently that revenue will need to be about 23.5% of gdp in a few years and forward. Why do the feds need 23.5% of gdp?

jimmy z Posted June 17, 2018 Report Share Posted June 17, 2018 Let's 86 some of those goldbricking, public dole using, do nothing politician salaries.

Ok since the Reps were in control of the house for 6 years during the previous admin is it their fault for all the Obama deficits guys here always talk about?? It's actually both branches that have the problem and they both need to realize spending and revenue should match.

Sudsy Posted June 18, 2018 Report Share Posted June 18, 2018 It'll put a huge dent in pork spending - if they don't need to buy votes they can finally care more about the budget and the country then getting re-elected I just wanta play everyday despite small nagging injuries -- and go home to a woman who appreciates how full of crap I truly am. ~ Crash Davis Social Distancing since 1962 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
