Deficit Soars

For September 2024, the government reported a $64 billion surplus, compared to a $171 billion deficit in September 2023, but the improvement was largely due to calendar adjustments for benefit payments. Without these, there would have been a $16 billion deficit in September 2024.

Bill Clinton DID NOT balance the budget in 1995, Newt Gingrich and the GOP did to a tune of $128.2 billion surplus.  Slick Willy Clinton was in office when it happened but just like our fearless leader said in a previous post it is congress that does this.  Bill and Hillary Clinton tried to engineer a federal takeover of the health care system, that plan would have sent the government’s finances off the charts.

Hey dip shit this is a Canadian gambling site. Won't they take you and your opinion on your side of the border? Reap what you sow and please as i have said so often, PICK UP A GOL DARN HISTORY BOOK. If you want to talk about why Seattle showed up wearing" OH MY WORD" type uniform I'm all ears. 

Hey Johnny cakes, how's Trix and the kids?

Funny thing about this Canadian website, it's on the interwebs so here in the US or even over in Aussie we don't give a toot for the 51 state of Canada or your Governor Trudeau

Honest question, do you think Wallstreet ever got in that hot tub with Lou?  Kind of like an old school Diddy party.  

See here in the states we have freedom of speech, this Canadian website is based out of Galway Ireland last I checked

 Your American betting sites are based out of Portugal....weird ?

must be a tax thing??  You know that's funny you say that, sometimes I check the lines on Draft and the time/ date stamps don't match up.

I try to use walk up Rivers as much as possible to avoid Uncle Sam from online wagers, but the juice is always digging into any profit and sometimes the line/juice turns you off the bet because Rivers sucks.  I actually found two tickets in my truck that were just over year from the game and Rivers wouldn't cash them.  It's not like Vegas that has competition across the street.  Only route I didn't try is through the state gambling claim because it was only $400 in winners.  Granted  not pocket change but I am sure if I pressed the issue my limits may come under question...you never know

@soup-can

Point of the story ....MGM is still American ...Covers is still Canadian ....its a number crunching tax evasion numbers crunching 2025 

I get it train, and my great grandparents came from La Prairie Qc.  I have nothing against Canada or Canadians.  Fun fact that I have never posted here because it's so many generations removed but it is true as the sky is blue

Newsy LaLonde is my cousin.  So, anyone on here can now figure out who I am, not that any of that matters.  I can say no one here in my circle of life ever heard of him but he has a statue or had one at some point

One other note, my children all know the Canadian anthem since we play it before the games on the ice and they proudly support it at every game we attend 

@soup-can

It's actually an interesting way to put adults in timeout

I didn't have beef with any other poster here, me and the mod see things differently and I understand why I was boxed.  

I don't dislike any poster here, I just don't agree with some of the messages

It doesn't make me a bad person, nor does the other party but when it's hammered in the way it currently is

posters get boxed for expression

Similar complaint.  He is too close personally and opinions / moderator duties are too often blurred.

The Great Orange Man reportedly wants to eliminate the debt ceiling.  

Hmmmm.

@kcblitzkrieg

 Thanks

It's a joke

Nobody in government seems to pay it any heed anyway. They spent/print without any responsibility. 

Is not the spending already done?

On one level...just spitballin.....

From reading...

It seems the Dems thought they had a tool to beat him with.....then he took that away by saying he's totally fine with it's removal. I don't think both sides see it's removal for the same reasons.

Methinks they (Dems) are hoping to get this idea thru, for when they get back in the executive seat in the future. Then they could really go nutz.

@IntenseOperator

 They spent/print without any responsibility. 

Yes 

@kcblitzkrieg

 And then in March, we'll do it all over again.

So, what happens with RFK stadium now?  I believe that was thrown out.  That place was a toilet back in 1994, and the hood around it wasn't any better.  30 years later it's still getting the shaft.  But at least the bridge will rebuild way over budget just like everything else the government has their paws in.  Maybe this time have it a suspension bridge so no terrorists can crash a cargo ship into the piers.

Usually, the outgoing president leaves something for the incoming president, watch good ole Joe leaves Donnie his bedside commode   whoops
