Oh he does, but you need to look into just who they are
This is the money quote from the article
4. We just got here. This is what makes the Latino population here different from what you might find in Miami, Los Angeles or New York City. Among the states that have experienced the most Latino growth since 2000, Tennessee ranks No. 3. Draw a big circle around Tennessee and youll find the rest of the top 10. Theyre in the South and Midsouth, mostly.
Nuff said
Splains some others as well, interesting article...
Dig in...
WRONG!
That omnibus bill was for around one trillion for seven months.
The government was out of funds and the bill gave us funds for seven more months. At the end of that bill, another bill would have to pass providing mor funding.
In recent years we have been spending around $3.65 trillion per year.
Tell me how $1 trillion over seven months is a higher rate than $3.65 trillion per year. In fact its a rate of about $2 trillion per year.
Nothing wrong with that.
Tax revenues are at record high despite the tax cuts. (If it holds).
Restore the import tariffs which the globalists/uniparty don’t want to do and you’ll have more government revenues to reduce deficits even as you help American industry rebuild.
Rather than cut entitlements, Trump has focused on getting the economy going again so we can afford the entitlements we promised.

Nothing wrong with that? You must be kidding.
You’re mixing up your numbers a bit DO. Sure, the fiscal year ends in September, but I am saying we are on track (judging from Q1 borrowings) for close to 2T.
Aside from that, when discussing the deficit, you really cannot ignore the off budget spending. The alphabet channels will not discuss off budget spending, or the hundreds of billions ‘lost’ by various agencies and the Pentagon. Do these entities go without? No, they just quietly get their coffers replenished.
All these numbers are a matter of public information, so there shouldn’t be any real controversy.
No matter how much revenues go up, if your spending goes up EVEN FASTER as they still are, you are always going to have a deficit.
Increased revenues are like blood to sharks on the water, the sharks in this case being congress.
I cannot adequately express how angry that statement makes me.
I just cannot.
I know I should expect that from someone who takes money from me at the point of a government gun and spends it it the fashion I would expect of a scumbag who gets to spend money he didn’t earn.
But it still makes me angry.
Bob, no one cares what you say or do now. Just shut the hell up and go away. Thank God we’re getting rid of this tool here in TN this year.
The Senate and House haven’t been worried about it during the Obama administration. Why are they so concerned now?
Anyone who thinks like Corker should read the dystopian The Mandibles. The end of our world comes not with global warming or nuclear holocaust but with fiscal catastrophe.
Frankly, whatever scams they have to pull in order to forestall the inevitable until after I’m dead is fine by me.
We have a completely unbacked, fiat federal reserve currency that for the time being is also the worlds reserve currency. All the advantages temporarily accrue to the US government to run massive deficits and our federal reserve to print money at will
That massive advantage wont last forever
Michael, the government was all set to close in March.
It’s all set to close again in October.
That’s 10-3, for seven months.
That’s $1 trillion for seven months. It may be $1.1 - 1.3, but I don’t get where you’re pulling numbers from.
Down to zero to down to zero over 7 months, seems pretty clear to me.
