Providing high-quality affordable healthcare, ridding the country of drugs, coming up with programs that everybody’s happy with. Any one of these might seem like a nearly impossible task to the average citizen, but for the president of the United States these endeavors, and at least 18 more, will be “easy.” At least, according to Donald Trump.

'Politics of hysteria': The much-anticipated Nunes memo left experts underwhelmed The highly-anticipated release of Rep. Devin Nunes' memo, which claims to show the Department of Justice and FBI abusing their surveillance power, seemed more like a list of Republican talking points, experts said Friday. The memo did not alter the facts of the Russia investigation, they said, and it did not have any information indicating that law enforcement officials bypassed protocol at any point. But the memo will still likely be weaponized by allies of President Donald Trump, many of whom have urged him to clean house at the DOJ and the FBI. http://www.businessinsider.com/legal-experts-ex-intel-officials-react-to-bombshell-nunes-memo-2018-2
This memo totally vindicates “Trump” in probe. But the Russian Witch Hunt goes on and on. Their was no Collusion and there was no Obstruction (the word now used because, after one year of looking endlessly and finding NOTHING, collusion is dead). This is an American disgrace! https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/959798743842349056
The U.S. government is set to borrow nearly $1 trillion this year, an 84 percent jump from last year - h/t PegnVA https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=138259463 It was another crazy news week, so it's understandable if you missed a small but important announcement from the Treasury Department: The federal government is on track to borrow nearly $1 trillion this fiscal year — Trump's first full year in charge of the budget. That's almost double what the government borrowed in fiscal year 2017. Here are the exact figures: The U.S. Treasury expects to borrow $955 billion this fiscal year, according to a documents released Wednesday. It's the highest amount of borrowing in six years, and a big jump from the $519 billion the federal government borrowed last year. Treasury mainly attributed the increase to the “fiscal outlook.” The Congressional Budget Office was more blunt. In a report this week, the CBO said tax receipts are going to be lower because of the new tax law. The uptick in borrowing is yet another complication in the heated debates in Congress over whether to spend more money on infrastructure, the military, disaster relief and other domestic programs. The deficit is already up significantly, even before Congress allots more money to any of these areas.
