From CBO.
Source: CBO. Notes: Solid light purple is FY2024, solid dark purple is FY2025, dashed black is FY2026 estimate for cumulative deficit.
As of 2026Q2, we’re nearly a percentage point above full employment, according to CBO’s estimate of potential GDP. Shouldn’t the deficit be shrinking, rather than increasing, as a share of GDP?
Trump wants the country to be in deep dodo by the time he leaves. Making sure that things collapse shortly after he leaves is not a bug it’s a feature. The moron voters at that time is supposed to look back at how much better it all was under Trump – and demand that he is brought back as “President for Life”. Remember that our education system was designed to ensure that only a small number of people can understand what you are saying in this post. The wast majority are easily conned idiots who are easy marks for a con-master like Trump.
