Littleronin Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 And here I thought we were ok by all the money flooding into the treasury due to tariffs. Who would have known that wasn't the case? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chairslinger Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 My main takeaway from this is that for some reason it's very important that Steve said this on Friday.... Quote (CNN) — Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin on Friday issued a warning Friday that the US government is at risk of running out of cash sooner than expected.

finaljedi Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 So that damn near trillion dollar budget deficit during a peacetime following a bigly tax cut wasn't the responsible thing to do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greatoneshere Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Those tax cuts for the rich from December 2017 was a really good idea. Let's cut more things for the American people - we gotta save money somewhere. Time to try to cut the special olympics again, because that's where we'll definitely save TONS of money. Military and defense spending? Untouchable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was Trump's first year when he went after PBS that Neil Degrasse Tyson summed it up pretty well, "Cutting PBS support (0.012% of budget) to help balance the Federal budget is like deleting text files to make room on your 500Gig hard drive".

Indeed! Whenever we talk about Medicare for All or College for All or the Green New Deal everyone asks: "how will we pay for it?" but when major tax cuts for the rich and super rich gets proposed, no one asks how the American people are going to pay for that. Seems fair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
