The Swamp is restarting its borrowing cycle

(WASHINGTON)—A government report released Tuesday estimates that this year’s budget deficit will rise to $544 billion, an increase over prior estimates that can be attributed largely to tax cuts and spending increases passed by Congress last month.
The estimate from the Congressional Budget Office also sees the economy growing at a slower pace this year than it predicted just a few months ago. It projects the economic growth will slow to 2.7 percent this year; it foresaw 3.0 percent growth in 2016 in last summer’s prediction.
Over the coming decade, CBO predicts deficits totaling $9.4 trillion. That’s up $1.5 trillion from its August estimate, with much of the increase mostly due to last month’s tax legislation, which permanently extended several tax cuts that Congress had typically renewed temporarily.

The Republicans start borrow and bailouts then the recession is likely here.  What is being bailout?  Taxes have been rising at 5-10% for the whole cycle, unsustainable.  Obamacare is over budget with medical inflation rising at 5%..  And continuing retirement of the boomers.
