At some point, we have to stop spending money like a drunken sailor, and then monetizing the debt.

This used to be one of the core reasons for which God put Republicans on earth. Trump has zero interest; he just wants to kick the can down the road until he’s out of office.

Once Trump departs, the fiscal hawks will start to resurface. The question is how many of them are left.

As Ronald Reagan said “Quit insulting Drunken Sailors’s” They are not as bad as FedGov.

How odd, I didn't know the president, any president could pass actual legislation, budget or otherwise. What we have and have had is a congress that has no interest in reducing the budget. During Trump 45 he had a complete majority for the first two years and all we got were useless EO's, now under Trump 47 it's same old same old with a Republican congress......but it's Trump that has no interest? When it comes to the budget you have to address all the parties responsible.

Just sayin....
