Trump’s nonsensical claim he can eliminate $19 trillion in debt in eight years

Of all the wildly impossible assertions made by Donald Trump, the notion that he could eliminate the nation’s $19 trillion in debt in just eight years ranks near the top. Trump suggests he can manage this feat simply by cutting better trade deals. Of all the wildly impossible assertions made by Donald Trump, the notion that he could eliminate the nation’s $19 trillion in debt in just eight years ranks near the top. Trump suggests he can manage this feat simply by cutting better trade deals.

If only it were that easy. As we have noted repeatedly, eliminating a trade deficit does not mean the money ends up in government coffers. (Morever, Trump is wrong to say the trade deficit with China is $505 billion; it’s $366 billion, according to the Census Bureau. The trade deficit with all countries is $531 billion.)

But here’s some basic math that shows why this is a fantastical notion.

The Facts

First of all, the federal budget is already running a deficit. So before Trump can start paying down the debt, he needs to eliminate the deficit — which year after year, is adding to the national debt owed to bondholders.

Why are deficits expected to climb? That’s because the baby-boom generation is retiring, running up the cost of mandatory spending programs, such as Social Security and Medicare. Alone among Republican hopefuls, Trump has pledged not to touch entitlement spending. So unless he wants to start breaking some campaign promises, one presumes he would not seek to change the laws governing most mandatory spending.

That leaves discretionary spending, which Congress votes on year after year and funds the basic functions of government, such as defense, homeland security, highways, and so forth. In the eight years of a putative two-term Trump presidency, the CBO projects a total of $10 trillion in discretionary spending. So even if Trump eliminated every government function and shut down every Cabinet agency, he’d still be $16 trillion short.

The CBO projected revenues would be about 18.1 percent of the gross domestic product in the 2017-2024 period. We checked the historical records and found that revenues in the last half century once reached a peak of 20 percent of GDP in 2000 — during the Bill Clinton administration, the last time the government ran a budget surplus.

But even if revenues achieved 20 percent of GDP year after year, that would only add an additional $4 trillion in revenue over eight years. (We are assuming the elimination of basic government functions does not wreck the economy.)

Trump is still $12 trillion short.

Donald Trump whines about John Kasich: ‘He’s taking my votes!’

The popular saying should be edited: If Donald Trump ain’t happy, ain’t nobody happy. Sunday, Trump called on Ohio Governor John Kasich to drop out of the presidential race at a campaign stop in Wisconsin.

“All he’s doing is just, he goes from place to place and loses, and he keeps running. Well, why doesn’t Marco Rubio do that? Why doesn’t Jeb Bush do that? Why didn’t all of them do that?” Trump said to reporters. “Now if he wants to go and have his name put in nomination in the convention, he can do that. He doesn’t have to run and take my votes.”

“It’s very unfair because he’s taking our votes. Anybody could have stayed in,” Trump continued. “You could have had [Jim] Gilmore stay in. I mean, to be honest with you, Gilmore could have just stayed in. A guy like [George] Pataki could have just stayed in, he had zero. So it’s very unfair that Kasich stays in, is my opinion.”

Whiny baby Donald doesn't like the fact that not everybody buys his bullshit.

Whiny baby Donald doesn't like the fact that not everybody buys his bullshit.

I wonder what he'll say when the convention rules committee gets through with him? Something about taking his marbles and going home, maybe.

It was never his intention to win.

Either he is just an attention grabbing troll or a deep cover mole for Billy's wife working to split the Republicans. Take your pick.

I don't think he ever intended to win either. I do think it was just attention grabbing that got out of hand.

I wouldn't be surprised if, even at this late date, he declared he had won (and constantly keeps saying that from now on) but that the system is so corrupt he won't have anything more to do with it--and walked off.

 

[Hard_Rom]

Or he might get a lawyer and an injunction and stop the Reps from naming a candidate handing the office of POTUS to Billy's wife on a plate.

I really don't see where some folks get the idea that Trump is a willing chump for the Clintons. It's quite possible that Bill helped to ego-push him into running more seriously than usual (he "ran" for a short time in every election since 2000), but I don't think Trump has ever done anything because anyone else wanted him to do it or that he knew would benefit from it.

Clinton, the Democratic front-runner and former New York senator who had some say over policy that could have impacted Trump’s vast business dealings, received donations from both him and son Donald Trump Jr. on separate occasions in 2002, 2005, 2006 and 2007, according to state and federal disclosure records.
Trump has also been generous with the Clinton Foundation, donating at least $100,000, according to the non-profit.
Clinton attended Trump’s 2005 wedding to current wife Melania Knauss at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach, Florida
Trump donated $5,000 to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee and $20,000 to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee in the 2006 cycle,

Just $1,000 of Trump’s money in the 2006 cycle went to the National Republican Senatorial Committee

Beginning with the 2012 cycle, however, financial disclosures show that Trump has donated exclusively to Republican candidates and groups.

Even the right says he is a Democrat

http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2015/12/is_trump_a_democrat.html
“I probably identify more as a Democrat” so sayeth Donald J Trump a few years ago during a CNN interview. During the same interview he opinionated (he does a lot of that) that “It just seems that the economy does better under Democrats than the Republicans”.

he proclaimed Republicans “too crazy right.”

In 2007, Hillary Clinton was on course to build support for her presidential run and he expressed confidence in her talents: “Hillary’s always surrounded herself with very good people. I think Hillary would do a good job” when predicting she would make a good deal with Iran. She was, Donald said, a “terrific woman.”

At various times he has supported nationalized health care, including recently when he wrongly declared that Canada’s single-payer system works and should be emulated in America.

The Republican Party will continue to lose presidential elections if it comes across as mean-spirited and unwelcoming toward people of color, Donald Trump tells Newsmax. Whether intended or not, comments and policies of Mitt Romney and other Republican candidates during this election were seen by Hispanics and Asians as hostile to them, Trump says. “Republicans didn’t have anything going for them with respect to Latinos and with respect to Asians,” …

Romney’s solution of “self deportation” for illegal aliens made no sense and suggested that Republicans do not care about Hispanics in general, Trump says. “He had a crazy policy of self deportation which was maniacal,” Trump says. “It sounded as bad as it was, and he lost all of the Latino vote,” Trump notes. “He lost the Asian vote. He lost everybody who is inspired to come into this country.”

He also was gung-ho for a complete ban on assault weapons. This has always been on the Democratic Party agenda.

Religious conservatives might take exception to his past support for drug legalization.

That makes him someone who buys people, not someone who sells himself as a dupe to people.

And he's already established for us that he's a congenital liar who can't stick with a position or belief for more than ten minutes at a time--other than loving and promoting himself.

God, there's enough weird stuff going on in these campaigns that you don't have to making other weird stuff up.

I'll bet there could be a 'reward' for insuring Hillary's triumph in the election. Trump is still leveraged heavily, if he got a few sweet construction contracts, which he could subcontract out and still skim 10-15% I doubt he'd bitch too much, until he was paid.

What has he spent on his campaign, a few Mill? Easy enough for the Pres to shift a no bid contract or two his way that he sub's to Halliburton to complete?

Trump is just prick enough to prank the Rethug's that way.

 

[sr71plt]

Yeah, sure.

 

[JackLuis]

Yeah, sure.

What, you don't think he's that devious?

So he is a mole for Billy's wife for his own selfish reasons. No rule says spies, moles and traitors have to do it for ideological reasons. Why he does it is not important. His results are the important part. If he has stated that the country does better under the Democrats then it is in his own self interest to hijack the Republican campaign.

He doesn't even need an actual bribe or shady contract deal to profit. He can recoup his 25 million through perfectly legitimate means.

 

[sr71plt]

No. I don't think either he or Hillary see him as a mole for anyone. I think it's entirely outside the realm of his personality to see himself as a mole for anyone. I think that's just tinfoil conspiracy thinking on the part of all who hold that silly notion.

I didn't think it was possible, but after reading Trump's plan to get Mexico to pay for "the Wall", I'm now convince that Trump is even more stupid than Perry. Extort your neighbor and throw them further into economic chaos. Good plan Donald.

No, he really didn't ever have a shot. He started with a 60% unfavorable rating and it's only getting worse the more Trump keeps being Trump.

 

[Ulaven_Demorte]

Or he might get a lawyer and an injunction and stop the Reps from naming a candidate handing the office of POTUS to Billy's wife on a plate.

Doubtful, the RNC makes it's own convention rules, Trump has no legal recourse.
