The media is all atwitter over President Trump’s flirting with a trillion dollar increase in the national debt in just one year. Admittedly, a trillion buck debt is virtually unfathomable, it is so huge. However, a huge part of that increased debt is from rebuilding the military, which Obama handily reduced and abused. If Trump had not pledged and done what he pledged, and that is rebuilding the military to make us strong again, the debt would be far less than the vaunted trillion dollar increase.
During the eight years of the Obama Presidency, the national debt was almost exactly doubled, and there was virtually nothing spent maintaining the military. Obama spent lavishly, increasing various forms of welfare, which of course gained him votes from the pigs at the welfare trough. He gave away hundreds of millions to Iran in cold hard cash, foreign aid knew no limits, and who can forget the czars he appointed on the government payroll, just like the Russians. I’ll never forget my utter shock and disbelief, when Obama actually appointed Russian types of czars in the U.S. government.
Trump has reduced the government payroll by hundreds of millions of dollars, rid Americans of hundreds of needless regulations, removed millions from the food stamp rolls, and put millions back to work, paying taxes. Trump has indeed done his best towards balancing the federal budget. He has brought businesses and corporations back to America, also paying taxes, and he is far from finished, as the completed G7 meetings will prove. His First Lady’s attendants are a tenth of what First lady Obama’s were, and economy pervades the White House. Notice that there don’t seem to be any more news conferences? Trump holds his own on the White House lawn, not counting his tweets. Previous presidents had to cover their actions with news conferences headed by a press secretary. Trump answers all questions and unlike any former president, tweets constantly, to the befuddlement of the media. Love that guy!
