  I didn't move the goal posts. I put it into context.
  Saying "TAX THE RICH, CUT MILITARY SPENDING, BOOM FIXED THE PROBLEM" just shows me that people haven't actually looked at Federal spending seriously.
context: Love how the deficit only matters when a democrat is in the white house.  Fuck off CNN. >
  
  What are you talking about? They talked a lot about deficits under Trump >
  
  Tax the rich, cut military spending.
  There, fixed the problem. >
  
  You could cut defense to 0 and we would still run a deficit. You could liquidate the entire net worth of every billionaire in the country and not cover federal spending for a year. >

  You moved the goalposts, I wonder why.
  We were talking about deficit, not total  federal spending (while recovering from a pandemic).
