U.S. government debt is on track this year to rise at the fastest pace since 2012, as a stronger economy fails to keep pace with the wave of red ink that’s rising under the administration.

Who was in charge in 2012. It's been less than a year on this new tax. Rome wasn't built in a day Give it a chance

Obama doubled it after President Bush

yet my back account balance read and my christmas club accounts reads the same

Tell the Fed to stop raising interest rates

I swear if I hear another right winger claim they voted for Trump and the gop mainly for economic reasons and fiscal responsibility, I will lose all hope in reasoning with these people.

morgfair Trump deficit to go with the Trump shutdown. He does like to see his name on stuff.

morgfair Then the democrats win and get blamed for it, so low information voters vote the GOP back in. And American taxpayers pay for the dance to go on.

Vulture capitalism at its finest.

Trump is bankrupting America!!!!!!!!!!!!

It’s also the fed raising the interest rate and the increase of interest due is added to the deficit. But again with a misleading headline.

maggieNYT Congrats to Trump. We are competing with the third world for most debt accrues in a year. Too much winning...

Well then let's cut out big Government spending, cut out subsidies to other countries, cut the UN, cut the waste out of our national spending. Then we would be in the black all the way.

Sell assets even land, pay on debt. Sell Alaska for starters.

Republicanism

The debt would be lower if we didn't spend tax dollars on 20 million+ illegals.

When are you going to realize that it can't be stopped and all fiat currencies are going to hyperinflate?

Trump will lead us straight into a recession that resembles 08’ but Obama won’t be their to bail us out this time.America has no idea how lucky we we’re to have an administration who was brilliant enough to turn this country around in 6 years ! In less than 3 we could fall again.

maggieNYT When will the Real Republicans grow a set and put a stop to the spending.... Trump supporters account for about 1/3 of the party. Why are we letting him run the show?

maggieNYT When the Democrats take over the presidency and Senate by 2020 they will be blamed for the difficult choices needed to manage the debt

maggieNYT How to pound that into the heads of voters!

Balance the budget on the working class, but funnel the gains to the wealthy. Rinse and repeat for the past 3-4 decades of trickle- down and neoliberalism.

Hypocrites who bemoaned the debt every day for 8 years despite that the 'bailouts' were absolutely necessary to keep the country going after the Bush meltdown! Where are all the GOPer's who cared about debt now?

'Bitcoin was the first ever monetary system to not be backed by debt in the modern day' BitcoinSV

Agreed! Build the Wall and save hundreds of millions every year!

ahh now you people care about the debt, remember when Obama doubled it in 8 years lol.

Must cut Govt spending including entitlements

Funny money

maggieNYT Laffer is crying. 😪

maggieNYT maggieNYT

Wow! That is a lot lore than I thought was predicted.

maggieNYT And the rich got a tax break, HELLO!!!

no its not

Doubled under Obama and printed another $4 trillion

Three cheers for conservatism!

maggieNYT Making our Debt Great Again!

Well that's sick. Let's do recall that the transition from decreasing to increasing budget deficits began under Obama: 2013-14 deficit -8.7% 2014–15 deficit -9.5% 2015–16 deficit +33.3% 2016-17 deficit +13.8% 2017-18 deficit +17.0% Largest change from 2015-16, a 42.8% shift

Oh yes! Obama was a choir boy. The muslims loved him. Talk to Iran.

But I thought we were winning and wining big, we were going to win so much that we were going to be tired of wining. What happen to MAGA?! But we more more tax cuts they say!!

U. S. Government Debt 21,209,662,818,063/ Dow Jones Industrial Average 254.9011.05%/ Makes Absolutely No Sense. Go Figure...

Goverment spending, goverment spending, goverment spending..........

maggieNYT Trump is the king of bankruptcy. No reason to believe he will act responsibly when it comes to the nation's debt. sad trump potus TrumpCrimeFamily

Making America Great Again......

And remember: when Obama did it then it was bad. Now that Individual-1 is doing it then it's not bad. [eyeroll]

Your right, time to cut spending. What programs do we start with?

maggieNYT REPUBLICANS ARE BAD FOR THE ECONOMY! That’s not the new normal. That’s the way it’s been for the past 50+ years! Just keep dumping tons of money on the rich is their economy. If it was just a little easier with decent health care then you would know the Democrats are in charge.

During the 8 disastrous years of Obama the Community Organizer how many articles did Liberal Fake News do on U.S. government debt?

realDonaldTrump should be proud 'biggliest debt ever!!!'

America should abolish the Federal Reserve Systems.

maggieNYT very legal & very cool

I hope this doesn't go back to another recession, I know how menilinals feel snowflake intensity ten years prior as of 2018.

maggieNYT Trump. Debt. Not surprised.

maggieNYT This is the “fiscal conservative” playbook. Blow up the debt by giving massive tax breaks to the super-wealthy and corporations, throw the country into recession and then spend the next 4-8 years blaming Dems and trying to take away social services, education & healthcare.

PaulRyan

Democrats can't even begin to counter the damage done by the Rep Congress. Hope you're stocking up for the world depression. It's time we stop supporting the rest of the world on handouts and use those monies against the national debt.

I am sad to see American supported Trump who rised the debt faster than any president before him just because they see money in their pocket but not thinking about US government debt going up. American wake up.

But Paul Ryan is a wonk. Doesn't seem possible. Probably fake news.

maggieNYT Runaway spending and tax cuts that fail to produce the revenues that the federal govt. needs to pay for the things that Trumpkins demand. That's the Trump legacy.

Well it actually grew less then the Obama terms. He averaged 1.5 trillion in increases each year her was Potus.

maggieNYT And how much of that was paid to Trump owned organizations? naivemuch?

under Obama our debt doubled and was 8x Brazil's economy so whats your point

maggieNYT How about another trillion dollar tax cut for rich donors? If at first you don't succeed...

maggieNYT

DT runs the country like he does his companies—into bankruptcy.

maggieNYT But the fiscally responsible gop? The budget hawks? This happened under their watch?!? I'm shocked.

maggieNYT So that's what winning looks like.

Stop the War Machine, Close the Empire, Drain the Swamp, Return to Normalcy

maggieNYT Thank you realDonaldTrump

Border Patrol union deleted 2012 webpage opposing border wallThe deleted webpage, posted in 2012, argued that border barriers don’t tackle the root causes of migration — and could potentially encourage more migrants to enter the U.S. fraudulently or overstay visas Sounds about right for what is now a wing of Trumps propaganda machine. Nice. It’s a collabo. More to prison. That page was from 7 years ago. **Nobody was proposing a border wall back then.
