The Hill: White House budget projects $1 trillion deficit in 2019
The White House’s midyear budget projections see federal deficits surpassing $1 trillion in 2019.
In an annual budget review, the White House’s Office of Management and Budget (OMB) estimated that new legislation enacted since the release of its February budget — alongside new projections on other spending and receipts — would add $101 billion more to the 2019 deficit, pushing it above $1 trillion.
That figure would amount to 5.1 percent of the United States's gross domestic product, the nation’s total economic output.
The midyear budget review was released quietly on Friday.
Estimates from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office had forecast the deficit to near $1 trillion in 2019, but not pass it until 2020.
Budget watchdogs said that deficits had doubled in recent years as a result of bipartisan spending agreements and the GOP tax-cut law passed in December.
"This is a striking acknowledgement following almost two years of claims that economic growth unleashed by these policies will wipe deficits away,” said Maya MacGuineas, president of the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget.
The budget outlook maintained the rosy economic projections the Trump White House has used in previous forecasts, but seemed to indicate a slight retreat from an earlier promise.
Trump officials have regularly argued that the administration’s policies would lead to sustained economic growth of 3 percent over 10 years, well above mainstream projections. In its updated budget outlook, OMB’s average growth rate dropped under 3 percent over the decade, dipping below the target as of 2025.
The White House also projected that corporate profits would grow 13 percent over a decade, while employee compensation would surge 68 percent. The Bureau of Labor Statistics estimated that hourly wages have grown just 2.7 percent in the past year, though once inflation was taken into account the number fell to zero.

your implication that it's Trump's fault is nonsense, except for the fact that he had to
go along with the budget, the increases being the dems' fault.

Really?
I could've sworn the Constitution gives the president a power called a "veto" or something like that he could use if he didn't agree with a particular bill from Congress; say, for example, a budget bill from Congress that provided tax cuts that would inflate the federal defict by a trillion dollars in one year. After all, isn't the GOP the party the party of fiscal responsibility? It must be those pesky Democrats in Congress' fault. Thankfully, the GOP has a filibuster-proof majority in Congress, and wouldn't allow any Democrats' chicanery to reach Trump's desk...

except it's close enough, your hero dirty john mccain, and a few others, are rino's, and as I POSTED, they wanted to avoid
a gov shutdown, which dems wanted, so they could do a redo of blaming the republicans, and you dems buy it.

$1 trillion added to the debt. Deficit is different.
Obama at least moved it in the right direction while in office. We'll see how it continues to move now

It just underscores the futility of voting in the first place. Republicans could have approach this from an austerity angle and really tightened up the US economy debt and deficit. But they compromised. Now it stinks worse than it did before but not as bad as will stink a few years from now.

Neither team wants to address the problem because they are cowards. They will drive till the wheels fall off then try to blame the other guy. That mentality has passed on to the people who are deeply invested in the team politics.

1) Why pictures and no links?
2) You say you know the difference but you fooled me in your initial post. Because $1T was not "added to the deficit".

1) Why provide a link when you’ll just dismiss it anyway?
2) $1 trillion was sarcasm, it doesn’t carry across in a post very well.

1) You seem to be very defensive about your source...
2) Based on the context of the thread before your post, and the phrasing in your post, it really doesn't sound like sarcasm. But if you say so, then ok
