When U.S. government debt topped a trillion dollars for the first time in the early 1980s, New York real estate magnate Seymour Durst sent every member of Congress a holiday card that said: “Happy New Year! Your share of the federal debt is $5,000.”

When lawmakers refused to act, Durst went further, putting up the National Debt Clock in 1989 on a building he owned just off New York City’s bustling Times Square. Three decades later, the clock is still running, yet U.S. debt has skyrocketed and https://www.washingtonpost.com/powerpost/deficit-hawks-are-dead-and-few-in-washington-can-muster-any-outrage/2018/09/14/1d6e95b0-b840-11e8-94eb-3bd52dfe917b_story.html?utm_term=.9990fdd3a8ca (most in Congress ignore it).

Republicans, including President Donald Trump, campaigned on balancing the budget, yet they have added https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/deficit-to-top-1-trillion-per-year-by-2020-cbo-says/2018/04/09/93c331d4-3c0e-11e8-a7d1-e4efec6389f0_story.html?utm_term=.a9bf98f1744f (more than $1.5 trillion) to the debt in the past year.

The result is that by the end of 2018, the nation will hit milestone: The federal government’s total debt owed to outsiders (known as “debt held by the public”) will exceed all debt that U.S. households have for mortgages, credit cards, cars, student loans and other personal loans for the first time in modern history, according to JPMorgan.

All true, but the tweet you included just claimed to support higher taxes rather than lower spending. Higher taxes will NOT lower the deficit. It didn't work for Obama, and it sure wouldn't work for Trump.

The deficit has increased every year since 1960. The politicians can and do outspend every possible source of revenue. That revenue is going to dry up nicely in the next downturn, and willing lenders will be very scarce.

It seemed like a typical Tuesday morning last month when Juan Esquivel noticed a helicopter hovering over the East Texas trailer-parts factory where the Mexican native had worked for much of his 23 years in the United States — doing a hard manufacturing job that few Americans are lining up to do, paying taxes to the federal government and building a middle-class life for his wife and two kids in a quiet community called Honey Grove.

Esquivel's wife was cooking tostados for that night when — as recounted recently by Emily Foxhall in the Houston Chronicle — she got the first text message from her husband at 10:27 a.m., in Spanish: "Immigration is here."

The second text came at 12:20: "They have us."

The Aug. 28 raid by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement — ICE — against the Load Trail factory near Paris, Texas, was the largest workplace immigration raid by federal agents in the last decade, with Esquivel one of 159 workers ultimately detained that morning. Yet in Donald Trump's America, where a holy war against undocumented immigration has become a fact of life, and where the latest assault has to compete for airtime against nonstop scandaland sordid tweets, the story wasn't even a blip. But the echoes continue in a working-class community that locals describe as "quaint" but where many residents are now afraid to leave their house.

scales gets a boner over a 36yr old accusation. Ironic how this woman wait not 1, not 2, not 3, but over 3 1/2 DECADES to come forward.
This will get them nowhere but it'll be fun if the libs ever get to name a judge. They'll piss and moan how unfair it is when the GOP does the same thing.
