CBO Issues Dire Warning on U.S. Government finances
China Money Report ^ | 20 January 2016 | D. Collins

Government estimates of debt over the next decade have gone from adding $1.5 trillion in debt to $9.4 trillion due to recent tax legislation. That will put the country up over $30 trillion in debt assuming there are no further recessions.

This is the decade of no return.

Seems blowing up peoples countries and importing their poor and putting them on benefits is no longer working. We have also tried closing all our factories and letting the world scam us out of jobs in the “free trade” system. World’s highest tax rates…not seeming to help either. Cramming people into “universities” and loading them with debt has failed as well.

If this doesn’t get better soon we may have to go back to that old free market economics crap ________________________________

WASHINGTON (AP) — A government report released Tuesday estimates that this year’s budget deficit will rise to $544 billion, an increase over prior estimates that can be attributed largely to tax cuts and spending increases passed by Congress last month.

The estimate from the Congressional Budget Office also sees the economy growing at a slower pace this year than it predicted just a few months ago. It projects the economic growth will slow to 2.7 percent this year; it foresaw 3.0 percent growth in 2016 in last summer’s prediction.

Over the coming decade, CBO predicts deficits totaling $9.4 trillion. That’s up $1.5 trillion from its August estimate, with much of the increase mostly due to last month’s tax legislation, which permanently extended several tax cuts that Congress had typically renewed temporarily.

Don’t worry, the Federal Reserve can always create more debt, and suppress interest rates to keep the progressive nanny state operating.

Of course, it will impoverish workers and savers and make Wall Street rich, but its the governing ideology, so who will oppose it?

Go back to your cult meeting at Isara’s thread.

Your snarky bs is all you’ve got? Did you address the contents of the article, or show your ignorance?

That's not what the article says. The 10-year debt estimate is being revised upward from 7.9 to $9.4 trillion, a difference of $1.5 trillion.

Bob Brinker got crotchety with a female caller and essentially said it doesn’t matter (the national debt).
