    Red I don't think you want to have a real conversation about this. I think you just like hurling insults. But in case I'm wrong, here is a link to where you can download the US Government's Monthly Treasury Statement.

    The Monthly Treasury Statement summarizes the financial activities of the federal government and off-budget federal entities and conforms to the Budget of the U.S. Government.


    We're still assessing the full effect of the Trump Tax Cuts, but the statment shows that comparing the first 6 months of 2017 to 2018, year-over-year receipts are down in 4 of 6 months. January and April were big exceptions to that, and for the 6 months, 2018 runs about 2% over 2017 for the first half of the year. We are told that repatriation is the reason for the large April 2018 receipt, which is projected to be a one time effect.

    Comparing the first 6 months of '16 to '17 is interesting. Collections in '17 run ahead of '16 for 5 of the 6 months, and overall collections are up 2% as well, which is consistent with GDP growth for that period.

    So it's important to factor in GDP growth. If we look at Q3 and Q4 of 2018 and see that revenues are lagging over where they would be using 2017 tax rates, and factoring for GDP growth, then it will be reasonable to conclude that the Trump tax cuts have contributed to the deficit.

      Mongrelization of a culture is not the same as mongrelization of blood lines. However, you've merely named different branches of the same great European family, so not to worry.

        CH your standard is completely arbitrary and serves no objective, practical purpose that I can see. Cultures borrow from each other constantly as easily as air masses mix, and new cultures form. To argue that it is unnatural, is to ignore the fact that it is everywhere. You refuse to eat Chinese food out of principle, I bet, ride in a canoe, or listen to 40's era swing music.

        Maybe this will make you feel better. To date my kids only have dated other whites. Their choice, just worked out that way. And I've told them that marriage to a foreigner is asking for trouble, if there are kids and the marriage goes south and the kids get flown out of the country. See the difference though? I give a practical reason for drawing a line. Your vague Euro-nationalism, they would just roll their eyes at you.

            Still discrimination though! But for another reason. However only bad when it physically or negatively harms others.....

              Having been indoctrinated in the public schools to believe that Europeans were history's greatest villains, because they bore the "white man's burden," imposed civilization on the savages of Africa & America, tried to recapture Christian lands conquered by Muzlim invaders, etc., what else could they do?

              Foreseeing the debased & degenerate culture they'd have to grow up in, & the public school indoctrination to which they'd be subjected by law, I thought it most merciful to tie them up in burlap bags & throw them in the river.

                You've never met my kids so you don't have a clue. I ask again: did you have any of your own?

                  No...but I have a very good clue as to the kind of cultural brainwashing every public-school kid is subjected to; if they're home or private schooled, the story could be (but not necessarily) entirely different.

The fact is the deficit would have increased whether or not corporate tax receipts were down. Total tax receipts went UP. You cannot dispute that fact. How does increasing revenues raise the deficit... it CANT. It is a lie, spending is the problem and DJT can't do a damn thing about that. He doesn't in any way shape or form control either the Senate or the House. You blame him for everything that happens on earth... hurricanes, earthquakes, heat waves, and cow farts are all his fault. You are sick in the head and so full of hate that reason, truth, honesty, and morality are no longer a part of your life. You need to be locked up in an asylum for the insane.

                    Red you and will probably never agree on this, but at least for my part I try to stay on the high road. Again, I could explain what is going on with any single piece you care to present, but you don't want to hear it. So OK, have a nice day.

                    But I have to edit in this piece, from your marketwatch link. They say this in the article that you cite. Do you not read these things all the way through? Geeze, if you're going to point me at something, then maybe you want to read it twice, because if there's a problem with your argument in there, I'm damn sure going to find it.

                    For the fiscal year to date, corporate income tax receipts have fallen by 22%, CBO said. Corporations made their first estimated tax payments for the 2018 tax year in April, as well as their final payments of taxes for 2017. The new tax law cut the corporate rate to 21% from 35%.
                    And they have this link embedded in the article:



                    You share Trump's habit of cherry picking nuggets that you like and ignoring those that run contrary to your preferred narrative. There's a name for that now. It's called living in a "post-fact environment". Also known as post-truth to some.

                    Well I'll tell you something. I'd trust the future to my kids a lot sooner than I would to you and your generalities. Another one of those people who never had kids but is a real expert on the subject.

                      Some homework for you, Togor:

                      https://www.powerlineblog.com/archiv...-you-think.php

                      Here’s what I learned about how schools manipulate kids when I asked several parents to share experiences learned during the Oklahoma teacher walkout.


                      And MANY more. Scan a few of them, & you TOO can become an expert on the subject.
