This week the CBO (congressional budget office ) will score the lasted healthcare bill . They will address how much the bill will effect the deficit . Even without the new healthcare bill , the entitlements are projected to be the largest cause of the deficit from the year forward . The entitlements are not included in the reported deficits but the CBO has the entitlement debt at over 100 trillion dollars . The left often makes the claim of military spending being the cause of the deficit . Between 2008 through 2016 spending on defense/war was did not increase it said the same at around 600 billion. At the same time medicare/Medicaid spending for example had nearly doubled.
The deficit will be increasing without things such as plans for a trillion dollar infrastructure spending purpose by trump or government funding college purposed by the progressives. We must address current fiscal issue before we even talk about these investment ideas.
