you cant run the country with out a deficit thats a pipe dream
the issue is the where and whens and how the deficit is managed
example : how much of the deficit could have been paid down if there was no Trump tax cut? Because the tax cut isn't why the economy is good Trump and the GOP had the chance to stand on their principles in regards to the deficit ... and they melted like a snowflake in August epic fail  |
