it is classic leftest diversion of attention and narrative framing to an issue that is a non factor.

Spending we can't cut (non discretionary) > Revenue.

1. Let's cut Revenue. Let's target those cuts at people who tend to send thier money out of the country to shelter it, hoard it, and go buying vacation homes in Malta (thus removing wealth from the US).

2. Blame the left for the exploding deficit under every GOP president since Regan

3. ????

4. Profit.

Trump adds debt and all his fanboys say nothing! When O or B add debt it's a national crisis again.
Nearly every president in history has debt added under him. Things get more expensive, and politicians love spending our tax dollars. The info is out there, you can see historical debt increases very easily today.

This. It’s not R or D It’s OPM. Other People’s Money. Eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse. And tax the churches. There’s a nice revenue stream. Especially from evangelists that own an airport, two jets, and two classic warbirds. On a lake. With a 2 million dollar home attached. Doing the Lord’s work at .81, tax free. When I was at FlightSafety we sent instructors to the “compound” to teach international procedures. Uncle Sam should get his cut of the prosperity gospel.

What I can see from your graphic:

1. Trump promised to pay off the debt in 8 years.

2. But what he actually did was add $8 trillion to the debt in 4 years. It took O 8 years to add $8 trillion.

Nice callsign flyboy, I must live rent free in your head, under your red hat.

#1 failed finance 101. Wealth is not taxed. Income is. See #2. Congress for the past 80 years has been substantially under the total control of the left.

#2 Ya failed civics 101 and passed political spin.

What percentage of the increase is driven by non discretionary programs?
