News flash - Latest fiscal deficit due to the tax cuts for the wealthy is the largest since the Great Recession, according to Forbes. The IMF warns that the path of federal debt is unsustainable. Estimates are the US is facing a deep economic slump and a possible deep recession.

That is why people rally. That and a host of other issues.

Tax cuts???.............not sure I agree. Not sure the largest deficit adder (if that's a word) cut taxes for the wealthy.

Deficit Additions:

Obama = $6.7T
Bush (W) = $3.3T
Reagan = $1.4T
Bush (HW) = $1.0T

Wishing folks on here would use facts......PLEASE

As projected in the FY 2019 budget, Trump plans to add $8.282 trillion, a 41-percent increase from the $20.245 trillion debt at the end of Obama's last budget for FY 2017. He will add almost as much in four years as Obama did in eight. That would also make him the second-biggest contributor to the debt in history in just one term.

FY 2021 - $1.119 trillion.
FY 2020 - $1.198 trillion.
FY 2019 - $1.225 trillion.
FY 2018 - $1.233 trillion.

"This year, FY 2018, the federal government in its latest budget has estimated that the deficit will be $833 billion."



US Federal Deficit by Year - plus charts and analysis

_________________________________

And since you are enamored with FORBES....

"The U.S. Federal deficit was $587 billion in Obama’s last year and it grew to $666 billion in Trump’s first year of his presidency. I’ve been reviewing a report from the U.S. Treasury Department, which shows that the U.S. Federal Deficit will probably increase this year (fiscal 2018), could come close to if not exceed $1 trillion in fiscal 2019 and will likely exceed $1 trillion in fiscal 2020 and beyond. And this is before the additional deficits created by the tax reform bill and the just passed two year budget. Note that the U.S. fiscal year ends in September."

Trump's Federal Budget Deficit: $1 Trillion And Beyond

Also.......Don't Blame Obama For Doubling The Federal Deficit

Lets check on what the WH's own folks say..

"The White House’s midyear budget projections see federal deficits surpassing $1 trillion in 2019.

In an annual budget review, the White House’s Office of Management and Budget (OMB) estimated that new legislation enacted since the release of its February budget — alongside new projections on other spending and receipts — would add $101 billion more to the 2019 deficit, pushing it above $1 trillion."

Speaking as non political as possible....

Our country is in deep trouble......the deficit, the trade wars...economically we got problems.

Haven't you notice prices going up.....and as the new trade environment settles in that will only get worse.

I assumed a "golf cart rally" was a chance to show off your spiffy golf cart. Is it a political event?? Enquiring minds want to know ...

If Florida goes the way of the states that we left to come here, I for one will turn everything into cash & stop paying all taxes-- we have enough assets to live for another lifetime- but we won't live that long-
