Thanks to Trump's tax cuts the US debt is increasing at an ever faster rate. Where is he going to get the money to pay down anything?

I didn't know he cut the sales tax? 3.1% rise in GDP has a hell of a lot of sales tax attached to it, along with tariffs on foreign goods far outweigh tax cuts, a lot of the money saved is actually going back into the economy and taxed anyway.

That is still based on a projection wait until the actual comes in, 3.1% rise in GDP and possibly 4% in the 4th 1/4 will be a huuuge boon for the American people. The only enemy is going to be the interest rate increase that will counter the GDP growth.

Fiscal 2018 is based on a projection?

You do understand that fiscal 2018 is over, right? It ended two and a half weeks ago.

Debt is way up because of the tax cuts.

Trump campaigned on the debt going down because of tax cuts.

How is the FY over before the 4th 1/4 is to begin even your own link says that this is based on the end of the 3rd 1/4

On October 15, 2018, the US Treasury reported in its Monthly Treasury Statement (and xls) for September that the federal deficit for FY 2018 ending September 30, 2018, was $779 billion. Here are the numbers, including total receipts, total outlays, and deficit compared with the numbers projected in the FY 2019 federal budget published in February 2018:

And the Actuals won't show up for awhile still according to your link

This FTS report on FY 18 actuals is a problem for usgovernmentspending.com because this site uses Historical Table 3.2--Outlays by Function and Subfunction from the Budget of the United States as its basic source for federal subfunction outlays. But the Monthly Treasury Statement only includes "Table 9. Summary of Receipts by Source, and Outlays by Function of the U.S. Government, September 2018 and Other Periods". Subfunction amounts don't get reported until the FY20 budget in February 2019. Until then usgovernmentspending.com estimates actual outlays by "subfunction" for FY 2018 by factoring subfunction budgeted amounts for FY18 by the ratio between relevant actual and budgeted "function" amounts where actual outlays by subfunction cannot be gleaned from the Monthly Treasury Statement.

Final detailed FY 2018 actuals will not appear on usgovernmentspending.com until the FY 2020 federal budget is published in February 2019 with the actual outlays for FY 2018 in Historical Table 3.2--Outlays by Function and Subfunction.

Even then the full scope won't be fully known until April 30, 2019 when the Income tax reports are complete.

Neither North or South Korea declares war for the United States.
(not that it was a declared war)
You didn't say that initially. You blamed Truman for starting the Korean War, which is categorically wrong.
There's a difference between starting a war and jumping into the middle of one.

No difference if you have an agenda.

Obama created 3 million jobs for minorities. Trump less than a million.

Walnut, are you hinting there was corruption before and Trump made a move that would be equal to 'sending in the Calvary'?
