Will spending outpace GDP in 2018? Before this budget the answer would have been a definite, "no".

Apples and oranges. MAGA means American economic recovery and that's not going to be affected by budget bloat. In the long run we will have some reckoning, but remember that as GDP goes up, the debt to GDP ratio goes down. Well, except that it won't because we are increasing spending much faster than GDP growth. But at least GDP growth helps.
Oh bullshit, loser.
Rush was just partial to advertising revenue and was lost when Trump showed up.
He was adrift without any pulse of what the country was thinking.
Rush went full advertising dollar in 2015 and took it upon himself to bash with regularity Trump supporters.
It highlighted a character flaw, although I have to admit I appreciate Rush's analysis as it educates the masses.
I just don't like the false pretense he's pushing regarding Trump support. He really sucked ass in 2015 into 2016 and continues to use the derogatory "Trumpist" term today.
So fk Limbaugh for that.
“I would have advised him to not sign it for a lot of reasons.”
My comment from an earlier thread...
“If he’d vetoed it, he would’ve won in a big way. Yes, his veto would’ve been overridden, but he’d still get the military spending. And, he’d still have most if not all of his supporters...maybe even more because he stood up to the criminal Congress.”
I think a lot of Trump’s supporters would’ve been dancing in the street. I know I would’ve been...
Yes.
As of Thursday, Trump set a record for the most ever federal appeals judges confirmed during the first year of a presidency, Axios reports. Trump has successfully appointed 12 so far; President Barack Obama confirmed just three in his first year, and President George W. Bush confirmed six. He beat out presidents Richard Nixon and John F. Kennedy, who each confirmed 11.
A hard lesson. Hopefully lesson learned.
Exactly. He would have made a lot of political hay out of it. Instead he looked and sounded weak and put blood in the water. I can’t name a worse day for the Trump Presidency.
Ease up, Eddie. I’m agreeing with you.
It was the tea party thing. Sorry.
That’s why Ron Paul said he couldn’t wait for Reagan to go back to CA!
NP...I’ve been chewing people’s heads off all day ;)
“There’s still time.”
True dat. Maybe Trump could nuke North Dakota and blame it on Hillary and McConnell. That would call for a retaliatory strike on Sioux Falls Lookout, Ontario, and Sacramento.
Rush is a drama queen.
This does make it more difficult to hold the house in nov.
Between the radical Dems and conservative Pubs who voted against the bill, they could have upheld a veto.
Trump signed it.
Donald Trump, meet George W. Bush, who signed damn near everything that passed Congress.
Wow, that is a good line. Which one of us FReepers did he get it from?

You are correct. Trump has no team, no party in DC. I’m still with Trump. We don’t have any other hope.
I agree that that would have been the best way to go.
Take a breath.
Well, he simply saw he couldn’t prevail, so he capitulated. He’s not the emperor, you know!
