The debt was between 2 and 4 trillion 40 years ago, and we were told then that was "unsustainable". No one wants debt, but at what point do we stop worrying about money we can't pay back right away anyway and concentrate instead on generating more wealth producing economic growth to pay for it?
That is not an official estimate. We'll see.Latest estimate: 3.8 percent — June 05, 2025
GDPNow forecasting model provides a "nowcast" of the official estimate prior to its release
Interesting that you have switched to this mentality. :joy:The debt was between 2 and 4 trillion 40 years ago, and we were told then that was "unsustainable". No one wants debt, but at what point do we stop worrying about money we can't pay back right away anyway and concentrate instead on generating more wealth producing economic growth to pay for it?
You and @TarHeelEer both are aware no doubt, that this BBB is NOT a spending bill?
So anyways.
So anyways.
Even on this list, it's something we should consider in the future, but at this moment, deficit reduction is more important:
Quit pushing me around car salesman.So anyways.
May I assume by your refusal to answer my question to you in post #124 that you are opposed to all 50 items inside the BBB since it doesn't cut the debt as much as you'd like?
If it fails, your doomsday preparation efforts should serve you well.
37. Ends taxpayer-funded abortions abroad. And defunds planned parenthood!
37 could be included, it's a spending cut. I went through the list quickly.
No argument from me...have you considered though that the US government just simply operating day-to-day increases our debt? When have you in your lifetime ever seen government shrink? Those DOGE cuts as worthwhile as they are, will come later once we start carving this bill up during spending authorizations.
:stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:Now we're getting somewhere.
That's nice of you, a Christian man, to be proud of an adulterer. :joy:I think I'm beginning now to understand your irrational intransigence on the BBB....you've been infected with TDS too!
Not surprised, it is rather contagious.
So DJT...you were a frequent visitor to "Epstein island" too huh?
Look, you never heard me say I never visited down there...the question is did I ever order from the menu?
Well we know you've always had an eye for the ladies DJT....the real question is what was your age limit?
Go Donald....Go Donald.....Go Donald......Go....go....go....go.....go.....
Can you explain the difference between a "fake" Christian and a real one? I can't wait to hear your "expertise"
Isn't it refreshing to know "Christians" can't be as honest as their accusers?HAHA.....now it's starting to get good......
What Elon was too stupid to realize was that he was dealing with locust. They get what they want, and move on to the next thing.
And....isn't it interesting to watch some of these posters switch their positions so quickly? Once they hated the debt ceiling, hated increasing the debt......now they are supportive of it. Then it was "if you visited Epstein Island you are a pedophile that needs executed" to "well maybe he was at the island, but he didn't order from the menu". :joy:
I never heard anything from you about me & Monica MWV...Oh thanks by the way!
Easy.......(see below)Can you explain the difference between a "fake" Christian and a real one? I can't wait to hear your "expertise"
I think he's more "real" to you losers on the Left than any of the "fake" opponents you have tried to defeat him!Easy.......(see below)
Actually, it's one of your guys that is calling him that now. A guy you pumped up just a few weeks ago. :joy:I think he's more "real" to you losers on the Left than any of the "fake" opponents you have tried to defeat him!
Just remember... the "smartest woman in the world" tried and failed....then 'ya tried and failed using a half dead corpse who couldn't even sign his own name on his EOs...then after you worthless losers figured out he was clinically brain dead, 'ya ran a cacklin' Communist who specialized in creating meaningless yet locquacious "word salads" and then SHE got her stupid *** clobbered in a landslide.
Now you miserable bots are back to name calling and accusations that DJT is a sex crazed pedophile hoping maybe it will finally help extricate his foot from being planted firmly up the middle of your surly, slimy Leftist behinds.
Then again, you could try impeachment for a third time, or perhaps some rouge DA in some high taxed Blue State could file child sex trafficking charges against him seeing Musk is now claiming Trump visited Epstein Island?
No one who supports MAGA & Musk firebombed his Tesla dealerships. That was you sore loser Leftist anarchists who now all of a sudden "like" Musk again because he's criticizing something about Trump.Actually, it's one of your guys that is calling him that now. A guy you pumped up just a few weeks ago. :joy:
Who likes him? Not me. He’s a POS that was dumb enough to fall fot the con to get his money. Sadly he’s just now realizing this. Too late.No one who supports MAGA & Musk firebombed his Tesla dealerships. That was you sore loser Leftist anarchists who now all of a sudden "like" Musk again because he's criticizing something about Trump.
Every single one of us who respect what Musk and his DOGE auditors found out about all your Leftist money laundering schemes through the government still respect him, and we want to see those DOGE spending cut recommendations in future appropriations bills.
Musk STILL has our respect and gratitude. We won't turn on him like you Leftist government leeches did after he turned the light on you sneaky roaches.
how is it too late? Too late because he was voted in? if so, that I understand as "too late".
"I’ve also seen claims the bill increases the deficit. This lie is based on a CBO accounting gimmick. Income tax rates from the 2017 tax cut are set to expire in September. They were always planned to be permanent. CBO says maintaining current rates adds to the deficit, but by definition leaving these income tax rates unchanged cannot add one penny to the deficit. The bill’s spending cuts REDUCE the deficit against the current law baseline, which is the only correct baseline to use."
