Deficit-swelling Trump White House plans to use deficit against Democrats

In the next several months, the Trump administration faces several big spending and budget showdowns with Congress. And after mostly brushing off deficit concerns while pushing through a costly tax-cut plan, the White House now plans to reposition itself as an unlikely enforcer of fiscal responsibility led by its new top budget official, a veteran of the conservative group Heritage Action.The series of budget fights will come into focus on Saturday, when the U.S.

It’s a long-shot plan certain to face accusations of hypocrisy — especially since it’s coming from Trump, who once boasted, “I’ve made a fortune by using debt.” Privately, many White House officials also dismiss the notion that the federal debt is a major problem.

I never in my life seen someone so bull headed and spoiled in my life that cares nothing about what a shut down does to our economy or the people who live pay check to pay check who have children. This is a perfect example of a born rich spoon fed spoiled brat. No wall little boy

We were warned about this

Dems should hold firm, no debt increase unless tax break revoked. No other deal acceptable.

Typical Republican misleading messaging....pass huge revenue cutting tax cuts for the wealthy and large corporations, create huge deficits, and then blame the deficits on safety net programs supported by Democrats. The hypocrisy is disgraceful.

Same old game plan. Cut taxes on the wealthy to run up huge deficit, blame the deficit on programs for the poor and safety net programs, yell about Dems busting the budget. Which gets flipped back to 'Pubs want to take your SS and Medicare,' which pisses off everyone again.

Meanwhile POTUS will BuildTheWall

You do mean they “HAD PLANNED” don’t you?

Poor thing. He's really hurt. He's so adorable when he's mad or in trouble. We'll leave him alone this weekend. He's not used to anybody being as smart as him. He can't believe somebody has his . That's why he's mad. Somebody he can't get over on. Angers him tremendously...

GOP hypocrisy

Good luck with that one.

I bet he'll negotiate a bigdeal and 'alot of people' will say it's the greatest in the history of the USA, because people other then tRump talk like that. Lol gtfoh orangefake

Well realDonaldTrump has a long way go before he matches deficit king BarackObama lets just hope he doesn't even come close. Both parties are spending us into oblivion. bipartisanspenders

More FakeNews and lies

The losers...American people, as always when Dems block, refuse to vote with administration, and push ridiculous policies...

Genius!

When in office the so called Republican Conservatives run up the deficit and a democrat comes in to reduce it!. A vicious Shit Circle that the 2 party monopoly keeps spinning!. Time to put this country on a middle of the road path that governs for everyone!.

Donald Trump just brought back $81 billions to America from Vietnam’s Aviation airlines Deals !

I'm pretty sure that will not work. See tariff relief, smaller tax returns, trump's shutdown, no tax paying 1%, trump's personal spending at govt. expense, emoluments cheating just to name a few.

NO. What the administration faces is Jabba the Nadler holding hearings on Trump castigating the Press by calling it 'Fake News'. Too bad Jabba the Nadler can't remember his first year of law school, 'Truth is an affirmative defense to defamation'

I interested to politic because of house of card

This was GOP plan all along. Loot the federal coffers for the benefit of the wealthy with their Tax Scam. Then cut social programs and entitlements by claiming there wasn’t money to fund them.

So sorry there won't be any budgets the democrat-controlled House of Representative will be too busy trying to bring down the federal government... And put in its place the congresswoman known as PT Barnum from New York...
