$28,500,000,000,000: America's debt in 10 years under Trump, Congress budget deal

[TexasTowelie]

WASHINGTON — Here’s a bar tab you wouldn’t ever want: Within 10 years, the federal government will owe foreign and domestic creditors at least $28.5 trillion.

1. Interesting how we don't hear any whining from whiney rethuglicons on the debt issue.

More of the same old rethuglicon hypocrisy.

2. Remember his claims before he was elected,

He would eliminate the national debt , because he was so good with business, and it would be so easy, and others were so corrupt because they had run up the debt. Remember that, and now he's doing the opposite of his claims, again. That's how you know a lot of the time what he'll really do, only think the opposite , and as worse as it could be, then you'll be closer to his real intentions, and the truth , which is something red donnie doesn't believe in, and I guess his followers don't either. The KGBOP want this country to fail as a Democracy , and the economy to fail to destroy it now.
