We will reach a trillion dollar deficit next year thanks to the tax cuts and social security will now go insolvent 10 years earlier than before the cuts.

Isn't it funny... OR NOT
that the folks who control spending ie House of Representatives, have pretty much been in republican hands for the last 20 years. That much don't really matter to me.
I look at those deficits and ask... didn't they tell us all this was bad to spend like this ? That's why we gave them power to do so and they made it exponentially worse, not better.
I guess it's OK if you can find someone else to blame it on.
Oh... what's that being whispered in my ear...
because the terrorist in Iraq... oh wait...
because of wmd in Iraq.... oh wait...
because of Obama.... oh wait...
because of democrats ???
Don't anyone get me wrong. I hate both party's.
But it sure looks like anytime a politician starts pointing a finger, they really are looking in a mirror.
Nothing is, as it is told to us ! And that is almost expected to be opposite of what is said now. Especially listening to Trump.
So, it's not bad enough they spent like crazy, they went ahead and chopped future revenue and we still are supporting/paying for all this failed military action around the globe. At a cost that continues to grow.
Just some lazy chair perspective, but payback time for all this money is going to hit home sooner than many think. It's quite OK to have debt, but the level this is going to reach in the next 2 years is going to be intolerable. It's going to tie our hands militarily to boot.
