Now Who Knew Economics Could Be So "Complicated?"

This is the natural result of putting a bunch of retarded amateurs in charge of things.

Federal Budget Deficit Projected to Top $1 Trillion in 2020

WASHINGTON — The federal government’s annual budget deficit is set to widen significantly in the next few years, topping $1 trillion in 2020 despite healthy economic growth, according to new projections from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office.
The national debt, which has topped $21 trillion, is expected to soar to more than $33 trillion in 2028. By then, debt held by the public will almost match the size of the nation’s economy, reaching 96 percent of gross domestic product, a higher level than any point since just after World War II and well past the level that economists say could court a crisis.
The new C.B.O. projection is the first since President Trump signed a tax cut that is expected to cost the government nearly $1.9 trillion over 11 years, then signed legislation to significantly boost military and domestic spending over the next two years. The figures are sobering, even in a political climate where deficit concerns appear to be receding.

It's only "receding" because a bunch of cunts are running the show.  Wait until they are out of power and they'll be whining piteously about cutting school lunch programs.

It's only "receding" because a bunch of cunts are raiding the Treasury.

Fixed that for ya.

This makes me long for the Bill Clinton days. (sans Hillary)
