there's a good buck in that racket.
No we haven't. Those surpluses were our Social Security Trust Fund. Stop spewing Paul Ryan talking points.
What bank is holdin that deposit?

Melania Trump would have been priority for deportation under new immigration rules
WASHINGTON — President Trump on Monday accused Democrats who did not clap during his State of the Union address of being un-American and even treasonous. His remarks came in a rambling, discursive speech at a factory in Ohio, during which he celebrated his revival of the American economy as the stock market plummeted by more than 1,000 points.
“Can we call that treason?” Mr. Trump said of the stone-faced reaction of Democrats to his speech. “Why not? I mean, they certainly didn’t seem to love our country very much.”
Are you freakin' serious? Are you really this friggin' uninformed?
The budget hasn't run a surplus since I don't know when. I think Clinton may have had a couple years late in his term, but that was only on paper, not in actuality. They would have become real, except, you know, Bush tax cuts. Which were before 9/11, BTW. Clinton set us on a path toward paying off the federal debt, and guess what, your beloved Republicans stopped it, and stopped it quick. All for tax cuts for millionaires.
Ok, even if you accept that Clinton's surpluses were real, they were the only ones we've had since 1969.

Even so, at least we could have been closer to zero than we were.
What is it with the Modern Republican Party being all about immediate gratification and fu** the next generation? What's so wrong with leaving the world better than you found it?
The Dot Com Bust will tell you that the paying off of the federal debt wouldn't have happened. Cut or no cut.
I alluded to this in the campaign. Unfortunately the mail and rails are still a mess.

Sometimes winning in politics is about having a great strategy, and sometimes it's just about waiting for your opponent to shoot himself in the foot.
The latter is what appeared to happen Tuesday afternoon at the White House, with President Trump essentially bear-hugging the prospect of a government shutdown if Democrats don't give him what he wants from an immigration deal.
“I’d love to see a shutdown if we can’t get this stuff taken care of,” Trump said. “If we have to shut it down because the Democrats don't want safety . . . let's shut it down.”
Trump added later in the meeting: “Would I shut it down over this issue? Yes.”
It was a pretty remarkable statement given Democrats provided the "no" votes that briefly shut down the government last month and were generally viewed as having caved in those negotiations. It also would appear to signal an entirely new strategy for the GOP with just more than 48 hours left to avoid another shutdown.
You Are Doing It Wrong
This is why Trump's lawyers dont want him talking to Mueller...the man cant stop himself from saying everything he is thinking! It is going to be hard to blame the Dems for the shutdown when you flat just said you want to shut it down over the same issue. Hell he doubled down when a member of his own party tried to tell him there is no need for a shutdown over this.
Sorry, to say but this will work in his favor. People don't care about immigrants. They just don't. As soon as the Dems shut down the government for immigrants they'll get destroyed for it. That's why they caved in the first place. DACA has the most support and that's illegals which will get the Dems no where. Chain and Lottery the GOP has convinced everyone are dirty words so the Dems even though right will get no where. And, everyone who is polled says that they want DACA but don't shutdown the government over it. It's a no win for Democrats.
You realize every poll says you are wrong right? They care, they just want the issue done already. The Government should not need to be shut down over this.
The Dems wont cave this time...they know the "Wall" deal that will get floated is a fraud so they will take the bad press. The problem Trump has is he let it be known he wants a shutdown if he doesnt get what he wants as well so they have a rival talking point. Never speak your mind...especially when you are an idiot. He just screwed over Congressional Republicans because now they cant make a deal in good faith since it is 75/25 he will blow it up over something he cannot win.
This backs up something I read the other day. Trump's lawyers are obviously fighting to keep him from talking to Mueller...not because he is guilty but because they figure he wont be able to avoid perjury charges cause he has to boast and lie to feed his ego. He is easily baitable. Right now immigration is a huge trigger for him and the more it sticks around the worse he gets about it. He needs a win, and a big one. The tax deal saved his crumbling numbers but that wont last long as people realize it didnt help them much so they will focus on other things. Jobs are still be sent out of the country (sorry Carrier workers you all got fleeced) wages are stagnant and the Dow is volatile because banks know the **** is about to hit the fan at the Fed. Trump needs the wall and he needs it now.
I know the polling. They don't want the Government shut down over it and nothing will get done without that. The Trump 4 pillars will never get a Democratic vote. He's wrong about chain migration. He's wrong about the lottery system. And Trump will ramrod the Dems over it saying they didn't get DACA because they want meritless immigration. And the Democrats will get destroyed over it.
You aren't correct. But let's say you're correct.
So what?
Either we follow our conscience or we are nothing. Either we respect our nation's values and ideals or America is nothing.
Do the right thing. Que sera sera.
Doing the right thing means shutting down the government. Do that and you can kiss the majorities away in November. I'm not correct how? I'm just spitting out what the polls say and what the Republicans will do. Nothing more, nothing less.
Holy crap. The Pentagon is planning a military parade at the behest of Trump.
FFS...
