It's due to the tax cut that he signed

2019-01-18 16:06:02 UTC  

You could also blame Republicans for not cutting spending

2019-01-18 16:28:01 UTC  

Ah

2019-01-18 16:28:57 UTC  

The tax cut he signed could have been a lot better imo, but it also could have been a lot worse

2019-01-18 17:51:09 UTC  

We need to get an accountant into the office. Like it's not hard to balance a budget. Look at the last 3-5 years of tax income rev, low ball the number a bit, and just cut back everything the same amount.

2019-01-18 18:36:36 UTC  

@Grenade123 but but cutting any spending other than military is bad!!!!

2019-01-18 18:43:34 UTC  

honestly even though im mostly republican and conservative i agree that the military has way too much of the budget and we need to cut back on spending for them

2019-01-18 18:43:43 UTC  

like theres security and defense and then theres

2019-01-18 18:43:44 UTC  

oof

2019-01-18 19:59:25 UTC  

TBF, we spend more on education than military and we get snowflakes out of schools

2019-01-18 20:08:46 UTC  

americans need to reinstate draft

2019-01-18 20:08:53 UTC  

easy life makes weak people

2019-01-18 20:09:11 UTC  

2 years of slogging in the shit would do wonders and give people some perspective

2019-01-18 20:11:31 UTC  

maybe a foreign legion analog

2019-01-18 20:12:58 UTC  

can't really say about the mexicaners invading the usa but at least the folk rushing europe at the moment are definitely a) not willing to fight or they wouldn't have left b) the kind of people you'd want to give guns to

2019-01-18 20:13:24 UTC  

the problem in america is two fold

2019-01-18 20:13:58 UTC  

the ideological corruption of the cult of intersectionality, and the overwhelming democratic corruption and thirst for power

2019-01-18 20:14:35 UTC  

ffs everyone with a fully functioning brain and the basic facts can piece together that the democrats don't want a wall because A) orange man bad and B) immigrants vote democrat, legal or illegal

2019-01-18 20:15:11 UTC  

but combine that with the appalling villainization of masculinity of all kinds, and it just spirals out.

2019-01-18 20:15:57 UTC  

^^

2019-01-18 20:16:14 UTC  

not just Immigrants, ALL minority vote democrat

2019-01-18 20:16:22 UTC  

minorities*

2019-01-18 20:26:20 UTC  

what would yo say the DoD get in percentage of the federal budget?

2019-01-18 20:32:47 UTC  

I went to wikipedia yo sate my curiosity. The US federal spending on military/DoD is 15%

IIRC the education budget is 30 bil over defense ATM

2019-01-18 20:42:26 UTC  

Looking over the numbers in that table. The US is spending more per citizen on welfare programs (social security, medicare, medicaid, income security) than my country does. Are all Americans retiring from old age to government mansions with gold cutlery?

2019-01-18 20:52:42 UTC  

No, the system is just bloated, if its anything like Social Security employees are in my country, they work for 20 years and retire with full benefits.

2019-01-18 20:54:04 UTC  

Like the greek 13th month extra salary for public employees.

2019-01-18 20:54:49 UTC  

That got killed after 20+ years as part of the agreement with the germans to refinance their debt

2019-01-18 20:55:07 UTC  

probably the only good thing the EU has done for Greece

2019-01-18 20:55:20 UTC  

having a bunch of people sucking at the goverments tits is not healthy for a country

2019-01-19 03:21:20 UTC  

It's not a Democracy unless you vote Democrat, as they say

2019-01-19 03:35:56 UTC  

Funny The US is a constitutional democratic republic.

2019-01-19 05:49:21 UTC  

Check out cortez's latest tweet best so far

2019-01-19 07:06:04 UTC  

You mean the meme one?

2019-01-19 07:10:47 UTC  

I mean... apparently there is one thing she seems to be somewhat knowledgeable of.
