US posts largest budget deficit on record in February

I see your point.

If only today's partisan's truly understood their causes, let alone their opposition. In a world of bumperstickers its impossible to gain consensus.

 

You can't name them, you just want "them" gone. Brilliant handle you got on government services and operations.

 

Might want to redefine what "non-essential" actually means.

All over the map with that one. Four non sequitars.

 

Why would I want to when that's what it means in the context of a government shutdown?

https://www.opm.gov/policy-data-ove...-guidance/guidance-for-shutdown-furloughs.pdf

"essential" or "excepted" employees as those who are "performing emergency work involving the safety of human life or the protection of property or performing certain other types of excepted work."

 

Perhaps you should reread what you originally posted.

 

Well yeah

I never claimed to be omniscient and never will

But I can point out the general direction we need to go

 

2. That is 100% false. Military spending , on its own , was 31% of the 2018 federal budget.

Now that you’re showcased your ignorance or propensity for false posts, anything else you post will be that much less credible.

You are mistaken about defense spending

Your pie chart is wrong

The 2018 federal budget was $4,7 trillion and defecse spending was 575 billion

I'd own you, but I see someone else did it for me.

 

Oh noes I put "essential" and "nonessential" in the wrong place. That's true. I used the wrong one initially.

I think, however, that you can figure out which is which based on OPM definitions, yeah?

Which takes us back to your original point of "what is essential". I hope you understand the difference now.

If not, refer to the OPM guidance I linked for your convenience.

 

First five months of fiscal 2019 highest government spending in the past ten years(Oct.2018-Feb.2019) while tax receipts by the federal treasury are at a four year low during the same time frame.As we add more and more to the national debt.

 

You are as illiterate as vman12. From your own article:

"Military spending was included in the budget. The biggest expense was the Department of Defense base budget at $576 billion. Overseas Contingency Operations were estimated to cost approximately $174 billion. That pays for the war on terror costs triggered by the 9/11 attacks. These include ongoing costs from the war in Iraq and the Afghanistan war. Military spending included $212.9 billion for defense-related departments. These include Homeland Security, the State Department, and Veterans Affairs. These departments also receive emergency funding of $26.1 billion. Add it up, and the total U.S. spending on defense is $989 billion. "

Also, the 2018 pie chart is correct. The article you linked to is for the proposed budget for FY 2020.

Now that you’re showcased your ignorance, illiteracy or propensity for false posts, anything else you post will be very much less credible

 

Homeland Security is domestic law enforcement and should not be counted against the uniformed services

 

The right wing alleges to subscribe to capitalism but forgo Any capital based metrics for their policies.

all of our alleged wars must be fake capital news if they are not funded with real capital times of war, tax rates under any form of capitalism with any understanding of double entry bookkeeping.
