Oh NOW deficits matter. No one cared when Trump was spending like a drunk sailor his first 2 years in office
Theyāre just lying. They always were.

They will show up sooner or later
Just screech about it being the āroaring 20sā and deficits donāt matter!
In before āoh now you care about deficitsā. 
cut defense by 50%
get rid of trumps tax cuts and institute a 70% estate tax on estates over 25M
as a startā¦
There is no question that the debt must be dealt with and I also believe that half the politicians said this was so. I also believe that theyāll agree to cut anything and everything that doesnāt affect their constituents. This meansā¦nothing will happen. Itās the same bull feces rhetoric Iāve heard from Washington my whole life.

Iāve been preaching blanaced budget amendment for years. Trump being elected hasnāt stopped me from preaching it.
How about this:
means test social security
Eliminate ALL tax refunds above and beyond what a person pays in tax.
Cut foriegn aid
Make BRACA commission to analyze federal employeeās and buildings. Consolidate offices and eliminate buildings and employeeās not needed.
Eliminate orphaned pork projects.
There is a start

Means test is one way to go, another is to make ALL income subject to FICA, not only the first 132,900. Putting a cap on FICA earnings is simply another gift for the uber wealthy. I pay something like 7% while a gazzillionaire pays a micro fraction of that.
Republicans sold their soul to Trump.
No one should take what they say seriously.

A wise man once said:
Nobody is a fiscal conservative anymore. All this talk about concern for the deficit and the budget has been bogus for as long as itās been around.
That man ā¦ Rush Limbaugh.

That is to be respected. Iām also concerned with our debt, and have been since the early 80s, but I think we both believe in exceedingly different means for the same end.
trump won over vast numbers of the Tea Party members, so why arenāt they being more vocal? Thatās not a snarky question, I ask because they are a large part of his base, correct? If they spoke up, Iām positive it would influence what trump does. I know Iād welcome the influence of the Tea Party right now. (That last line was hard to type, but itās true.)
As I have said many, many, MANY times in the past.
The ONLY way EITHER side is going to no have deficit spending is a balanced budget amendment.
Never been a tea party member. We had a lady who lived here claiming she was the original founder of the Tea Party. She was beyond crazy.
Itās the age old problem: As long as the deficit is for what you believe in . . . itās not a problem. Whatever party is in power that happens.
Then itās obviously not a big problem for the vast majority of Americans. If it is, then there is no possible way of uniting āāusā against where the fault lies, our Representatives.
Thatās the problem, you are all talk.
