I don't know and I quite frankly don't care. This idea is terrible. You know that neighbor you are always ripping with the guns... There is a pretty good chance you will be begging him for help when some inner city thug is doing a home invasion on you and your old lady.

If you don't want to live in the ghetto go to school and get a job. No slinging crack rocks is not a job BTW.

The post ^^^ is from May 9, 2016. The cons complain and complain and complain about me. They don’t ever quote like this because I don’t talk like this.

Now folks here can see how the cons have “ideated” about me. There are more. I just happened to spend two minutes looking for once.

Only degenerate animals talk to people like this. Is it any wonder I invited this subhuman out to attempt saying this to my face ? And that the degenerate coward wasn’t as brave when he has the chance ?

Oh, good.

Tee Hee will get to slam her for being both a free-thinking woman and a free-thinking black person.

Two for one.

😂😂😂😂

The reaction to Kanye has nothing to do with the color of his skin. We have all seen what happens when someone with a serious psychiatric illness stops taking their meds. Usually, concerned people intervene and get them back on course but unfortunately for Kanye, some need to exploit his illness for their own reasons while others are afraid to intervene because of $$.

Sad

Oooh, were it only Kanye as the only black man you have mocked, that would be one thing.

Degenerate animals? What would you call someone who asks to have people send over their wives and daughters so you can have your way with them...and then brag how the sex with these daughters would be the best of their lives?

Much more degenerate than anything else ever uttered on here. And, that's saying quite a lot.

Eight + years of belittling and mocking Obama and now Con is all righteous about West. Amazing.

Hey Con. This is what is called a trend. Dems have increased their lead from 7.1 to 7.6 over Cons in the RCP poll average. Enjoy.

The issue instead is: Have the corporate and individual tax cuts that went into effect in January generated so much additional growth that tax revenues are as high, or higher, today than they would have been if the tax cuts never passed? That’s how all scorekeepers — be they independent congressional staff members or researchers from think tanks that lean liberal or conservative — assess the “pay for themselves” question.

One way to think about it is from the perspective of a small-business owner. Let’s say you run your own bakery. You sell bread for $4 a loaf. Today, you sold 90 loaves, for $360 in revenue. You expect that, because it’s a busier day at the bakery tomorrow, you’ll sell 100 loaves then, earning $400. But you’d like to sell even more than that, so you lower the price to $3 a loaf to encourage additional purchases.

Congratulations! You sell 125 loaves. Your revenue goes up, to $375. That’s more than you brought in the day before. Your price cut, though, has not “paid for itself” — because you ended up bringing in less revenue than you would have otherwise.

In other words, you brought in more money than the day before. But it’s less than you would have made if you hadn’t cut the price.

That’s what we saw in the 2018 fiscal year with the tax cuts. A few months before they passed, the Congressional Budget Office predicted the government would take in $3.53 trillion in revenues for the fiscal year. On Monday, the Treasury reported that revenue was actually $3.33 trillion for the year — $200 billion short, even though economic growth has outpaced the budget office’s forecasts.

That’s the equivalent of selling more loaves, but earning less money.

You seem to forget all the people the bakery had to hire to produce those extra loaves paying intto taxes.

The taxes paid by two extra workers doesn't do much does it? The bakery owners profits are lower (because he lowered the price) so he will pay lower taxes also.

Anytime Obama was with a black artist he was hood, ghetto. But it's ok for Trump.

Of course Trump has black supporters. Not many, but he has some. With West he clearly is unstable so that simply raises questions about his support. The Trump administration also appears to be holding him up to say "look, black people like Trump!". That's why people have issues. If a medicated Kanye really likes Trump, then who cares. I agree it was not ok to make fun of him because he clearly needs help. He's a parent and husband and should be medicated.

The tax cuts didn’t pay for themselves. Just put the country deeper in debt.
$800 Billion deficit this year.
Projected to be almost $1 Trillion next year.
And then $1 Trillion plus every year thereafter.

18 days until you lose the House Cons. Then Dem House committees will hold non-stop investigations into the info Mueller gives them.

Get ready to bend over and say Ahhhhhhh

Trickle down economics is a failed theory that has been disproven before, but the GOP loves to keep bringing it back out. It helps that the GOP is ignorant when it comes to economics and trade policy. They believe whatever Cheetolini tells them. They won't get that they've been duped by Don the Con until it's too late.

tee hee has been watching PMSNBC all night on a red bull fueled binge session based on these talking point posts that are not even worthy of a response. Your parents are probably waking up for work so you better get to bed.

CBO’s Projections of Deficits and Debt for the 2018–2028 Period

Posted by Barry Blom on
April 19, 2018

Last Monday, the Congressional Budget Office released The Budget and Economic Outlook: 2018 to 2028, the latest installment of an annual report explaining the agency’s budget and economic projections. This week, CBO is publishing daily blog posts to share key excerpts from the report, and today’s post is about the agency’s projections of federal deficits and debt. (CBO has also posted a series of slides about those projections.)

Federal budget deficits are set to increase rapidly this year and over the next four years, CBO projects, and then to remain largely stable relative to the size of the economy—but at a very high level by historical standards—over the rest of the projection period. Those deficits would result in rising federal debt. Moreover, CBO’s baseline projections reflect a number of significant changes to tax and spending policies that are scheduled to take effect under current law. If those changes did not occur, deficits and debt would be substantially larger.

Rising Deficits
As required by statute, when constructing its baseline projections, CBO incorporates the assumption that current laws governing taxes and spending will generally remain unchanged in future years. Under that assumption, in CBO’s baseline, federal deficits average $1.2 trillion per year and total $12.4 trillion over the 2019–2028 period. As a percentage of gross domestic product (GDP), the deficit increases from 3.5 percent in 2017 to 5.4 percent in 2022. Thereafter, the deficit fluctuates between 4.6 percent and 5.2 percent of GDP from 2023 through 2028. Over the past 50 years, the annual deficit has averaged 2.9 percent of GDP.

That pattern of deficits is expected to occur mainly because, under current law, revenues and outlays would grow at different rates. Revenues would be roughly flat as a percentage of GDP over the next several years before rising steadily in the second half of the period. In contrast, outlays would increase in most years through 2028.

Growing Debt
The large deficits over the next 10 years would cause debt held by the public to rise steadily. Relative to the nation’s output, debt held by the public is projected to increase from 76.5 percent of GDP in 2017 to 96.2 percent at the end of 2028. At that point, federal debt would be higher as a percentage of GDP than at any point since just after World War II—and heading still higher.

Outcomes If Certain Changes Scheduled in Law Did Not Occur
In CBO’s baseline projections, deficits in the latter half of the decade, though quite large, are not trending upward relative to the size of the economy. That pattern occurs in large part because CBO’s projections reflect the assumption that substantial tax increases and spending cuts will take place as scheduled under current law.

If those changes did not occur and current policies were continued instead, much larger deficits and much greater debt would result: The deficit would grow to 7.1 percent of GDP by 2028 and would average 6.3 percent of GDP from 2023 to 2028, CBO estimates, compared with 4.9 percent in the baseline. With cumulative deficits of $15.0 trillion over the projection period, debt held by the public under that alternative fiscal scenario would reach 105 percent of GDP by the end of 2028, an amount that has been exceeded only one time in the nation’s history. Moreover, the pressures that are projected to contribute to that rise would accelerate and drive up debt even more in subsequent decades.
