Who cares

Man that tax money we didn’t collect from the 1% sure would come in handy right now.

So they just don’t fund the military for one year? Lol

The money wasn’t used to combat our economic toll. It went straight into the pockets of the families of kayleighmcenany realDonaldTrump WVGovernor and other GOPTraitors

We need a constitutional balanced budget amendment.

Does make you wonder if it’s Trump’s lot in life to borrow massive amounts of money

How much of a tax cut did the billionaires get? What about the PPE Loans? 🧐 We’ve been totally ripped off by the Grifting TrumpCrimeFamily ‼️ TrumpTaxReturns

DeHart8888 So much winning

Thanks Trump

But everyone wants to print money as if we had it to begin with. Both parties are driving this country to the ground. Remember this the next time they say “free” anything.

That’s because Space Force tv ads are expensive?

MAGA WINNING

But of course. A Republican conman is in office.

Gohmert wanted to impeach Obama over the budget

MAGA?

Thank you Trump for that tax break for the wealthy. You sure fooled us! Good one. And that assault on the ONLY national healthcare we DO have. Good one again. Man, you sure earned your ticket to the lower regions of the underworld! 😈

Good thing the Republican deficit hawks are on patrol in the Senate. Oh, wait...

Good thing the GOP gave the wealthiest another tax break. Poor rich bastards. Life must be hard for them.

Our poor children

Another major win by realDonaldTrump FuckTrump TrumpIsAnIdiot UnfitToBePresident

But I'm sure it's okay because it's a Republican budget deficit. The moment a Democratic president takes office be on the watch for screams from the right side of the aisle about the horrors of budget deficits.

Where is the TeaParty I wait it wasn't about fiscal responsibility, the Tea Party was about being racist. Now the GOP is the charge and spend party for sure.

This is what Trump prosperity looks like, everything on borrowed money and borrowed time

How are those tax cuts working?

Defund government.

Any comment, Tea Party?

So much winning!

Have any GOP deficit hawks said anything now or during the tax bill?

LOLLLLLLLZZZZ almost a trillion dollars in one month and people were claiming govt didn’t spend enough. Moving forward do not use US federal govt and fiscal responsibility in the sentence ever again

Thanks GOPTaxScam !

Let’s shut down again so it can increase

who care

And we’re spending on the wrong things.

Thanks Donald! You got us in this mess by giving socialism for the rich

Winning?

I presume the GOP will once again be incredibly concerned about the deficit on November 4th.
