Congrats to the U.S. Treasury . . .

on a fantastic 1st Qtr, over $1 Trillion in tax receipts.

Sadly, that was still nearly $200 billion short in covering all of the Federal Government's bills in the 1st qtr.

Tax and SPEND . . . America

only nearly 200B short?  Shits improving brah, get on the train to 
maybe we can have a president that will pay down debt next instead of coming up with asinine tax cuts for the rich.

That's a quarterly number you idiot.

I'll channel typical lib knee jerker circa 2006, "Just for the rich, it's going great for the RICH!!  But not anyone else"!!

Yeah minimum wage hikes would help too

I know reading is tough for you buddy.

You don't pay 18 trillion dollars back.  It might as well be 180 trillion at this point.

Well sure you make it manageable, wait for inflation to help you out, and keep your creditors happy. 

[sonofdaxjones]

The trendline is for a 600-800 billion shortfall and gov't spending is increasing.   So, yeah, that "paying the debt down" thing is a long way off, bro.

gap is narrowing, things are getting better.  The sun is shinning in America or something (except we have actual facts to back that up).

Sure, lowest work force participation rate since they started that measure, median income on the decline, and Federal Government that's going on what?  6-7 years without a budget?

Squealing Prog Libs Circa 2006, or so, during a stock market run up:  It's going great . . . for the RICH!

income
maybe we shouldn't allow corporations to artificially depress wages. The reality is there are less protections of the middle class. 
for instance a properly functioning union system


Budget
who has been in charge of that again?

[sonofdaxjones]

Which party has controlled one or both houses of Congress since 2006 . . . until very recently?   Which administration has willingly gone along with with the continuing resolutions knowing full well it was essentially a blank check, and knowing that any type of budget during the last session of Congress would never make it to the President's desk? 

Prog Libs work desperately to pooh-pooh away the workforce participation rate, it's kind of . . . sad.

Probably because its a stupid metric dax.  The vast numbers of baby boomers are an obvious cause of the issue. Combine that with a continued increase in productivity and efficiency its it becomes all the more glaring.  You can't simultaneously taut the benefits of McDs kiosks for order taking and then turn around and talk about lost jobs.

And the simple control of congress is another stupid metric since you need some degree of consensus to pass a budget.  Rarely does one party control both houses to that extent.

It's an applicable and viable metric and no amount of obfuscation is going to change the reality.   Everyone understands the baby boomer issue and the technology issue, but we aren't in an IRobot world yet.  I won't even get into what the vast majority of jobs that have been "created" and the policies that have made them what they are.

LOL, don't try to "there's no olive branch" away the lack of a budget.  For example, there was no way the Democratically controlled Senate was ever going to allow a budget to reach the president's desk in an election cycle.   Get real.

You can't argue with simple demographic shifts.  I mean it would be the same as people in China bitching in 50 years that there aren't enough women to marry because the men don't try enough.  At a certain point the shifts in population change everything.  That is the reality why SS and medicare are in a budget crunch. 

And you can't expect the Senate to pass a budget when its loaded with poison pills.  Oh and what about the House?  This is a larger issue owing to the problem of a dual party system and one party holding people hostage.

To your point, you can stand in a pot and piss in it and when a little piss evaporates tell everyone the amount of piss on your feet is less, but you still look like a fool.

Prog libs want to use every factor to make themselves feel good about the workforce participation rate, but you can't argue about the people who have just given up, or simply moved out with the click of a mouse,  you simply can't make them go away with a narrative that fits an agenda.

The administration has languished in the current climate knowing full well they didn't need to put any stakes in the ground in regards to a budget because they had Harry Reid and company blocking and tackling for them the entire way.  This is why you get to cling to ridiculous talking points about "only" running a $6-800 billion dollar annual budget deficit in an era of record tax receipts.   You have no footing, give up.

Note the time stamp.

Obamaflection: a defense mechanism employed by a libtard when reminded of how shitty of a president Obama is. Accusations of satisfaction derived from the pain and suffering imparted by Obama's failed policies, blaming vague and undefined extrinsic forces, such as macro-factors or geography, for such failures, and the pervasive use of poorly designed excel charts and self-serving editorials are all common identifiers of Obamaflection.

Those afflicted with Obamapathy, a sub-sociopathic mental disorder, often exhibit rampant Obamaflection antisocial behavior. Other symptoms include rectal trauma, incoherent babbling, loss of cognitive ability and become divorced from reality.

clinical obamaflection and Obamapathy on display. Edna, seek help. You are a caricature of a leftist lemming.
