The problem isn’t the spending as much as it is the idiotic tax cuts. We have the lowest taxes among western nations, we’re experiencing record corporate profits and yet Republicans continue to insist we need to cut taxes. When in power the deficit goes higher than Democrat administration’s and yet they cut taxes on the wealthy.
Republicans have no sense of fiscal responsibility and the only time they “support” it is when talking about cutting social programs, or in this case, when it helps Russia. They never support fiscal responsibility that includes increasing taxes, even if those increases would only impact the ultra wealthy that wouldn’t suffer in the slightest.
Pretty sure nobody is ‘adding more’ anywhere. We’ve been running on “continuing resolutions” for years. That means we continue to keep taxes at the same rates and spending allocations at the same rates, until we all can get together and agree on something better.

How to deal with a deficit? Make a budget.
How to make a budget? Get the House to pass one that the Senate will also pass and the President will sign.
How to get the House to pass a budget? Have the Speaker call a vote on it.
How to have the Speaker call a vote on it? Have a Speaker.
You must really hate Republicans, they’re so fiscally irresponsible. They always explode the national debt when they’re in charge for spurious and pointless reasons. The only president in living memory to keep a balanced budget was Clinton. Trump and Bush Jr. and Bush ‘read my lips no new taxes’ really fucked us over.
We just added 250 billion this week to the National Debt. How about just reduce spending and not add more elsewhere?
