Reading the BS about the debt and how Trump will crush the coffers and bankrupt us. I did not see the same individuals posting during the last administrations push for social justice and socialistic type society. So to set the record straight let's look at the governments outstanding debt by end of fiscal years. The debt on 1 Jan 2009 was approximately $10.6 trillion and at the end of the hope and change it was parked just shy of $19.6 trillion. In short for those that are predicting doom the total was $9 trillion. If you are not following the numbers- that is just shy of the entire debt amassed by the previous 43 administrations COMBINED. The National debt is currently climbing towards $21.2 trillion- or an additional $1.6 trillion in two years. I will remind you many programs are still in place- the biggest glut being ObamaCare as out lined here: https://www.forbes.com/sites/johnmauldin/2016/11/02/thanks-to-obamacare-government-debt-is-worse-than-you-think/#57f3890815f9

There are so many other social programs that just need to end. The tax cuts were imposed to force Congress to make decisions on this and what do we get- Mueller probes and wide spread panic over illegal aliens. We also get a gun control panic in there every few months. All designed to divert your attention from the real issues. Most of you that read my posts know I am not a fan of media- there are a few valuable sources, but as an auditor I want to see your facts- show me your proof not your opinion. We have a few posters here that contribute daily and numerous times a day and furnish information that is complete crap, but fits their argument. What shocks me- is you have served. You have to know how to find the truth- even when it doesn't agree with your point of view. I posted this merely to vent- not pointing fingers directly. Seriously odd times we live in. Wake up- educate yourself and talking to the right and the left. I am sure there will be a few that try to refute what is here- but these are facts based on true numbers.
