Didn’t Pelosi just say that Trump hasn’t done a thing for the American people? Guess she has a reading problem.
“The wheel is turning but the hamster is dead”
I’m positive this will be the lead story in every MSM news program or front page headline...NOT!
Go President Trump!
Here in NYC, the famous “debt clock” near Times Square is still moving upwards at a rapid clip. Once they have it moving backwards, I’ll take a video of it and post it.
The vast majority of the US budget is basically fixed - social security, medicaid, and other automatic entitlements, defense/intelligence, and quickly growing - interest on existing debt.
The discretionary budget, the only thing any politician (including Trump) dares to talk about, is a relatively small part of overall Fed.gov spending.

Yet short sighted people even here on FR are puffed up like turkeys bloviating about the three stage repeal/replace as if it’s a stand alone deal breaker.
Obama’s unmarked planes full of cash are grounded and the money goes back to the US Government ?
This has been explained as not unusual during tax-payment season.
Yet, at the same time Congress is being asked to raise the debt ceiling. Do not believe standard accounting procedure would think it wise to raise an already too high national debt, even higher, that has us currently in a very serious financial situation.
On the other hand, if national debt does not need to follow SAP’s why have Congress spend time voting on this regularly. Just pass a law that says, ‘national debt does not matter, there is no debt limit, and spend whatever you want whenever you need it’.
The debt is in the Trillions. So the $60 billion would be like paying $6.00 on a $60 million debt. It’s not a drop in the bucket. It’s a drop in the ocean.
Obamacare Lite will be a monster to the debt and deficit, as would Ivanka’s half-trillion childcare subsidy, if she were able to force that on us (and shame on Trump for having her reportedly over at Congress trying!), so first-month data mean nothing to Trump’s treatment of the debt.
This is frankly amazing in my opinion. If it really is the DEBT, then there were payments (interest) plus principal on the debt.
