RE: I agree.

Do you have any comment on some posters who claim that it would not be a matter of concern because our debt has actually gone down by $68 Billion since Trump’s election?

Sure—that wasn’t that much Trump’s doing and most of Trump’s doings are budget busters—ObamaCare Lite entitlements, a big increase at the Defense Dept, Ivanka pushing with COngress on a massive childcare entitlements, a general approach of throwing money at special causes such as, reportedly, $25B for historically black colleges, and so on. None of that supposed spending has kicked in. But as we are seeing with ObamaCare Lite now as soon as any entitlement, such as the expansion of Medicaid, which the new bill continues through 2020, is politically very, very difficult to roll back.
