At the Hill.com: “Trump faces new hit on deficit”

Hmm.

Deficits occur when spending exceeds income. Congress controls(?) spending.

Buttt…Congress doesn’t face a hit on the deficit…Pres. Trump does?

How does that work?

Sure, he signs the spending bills passed by Congress. If he doesn’t sign what they send him, he’s accused of being responsible for a shutdown. If he does sign, it’s all his fault.

Congress forces big spending…and all fingers point at the Executive branch.

Can someone explain this lunacy…without venturing into Trump-hatred?

Anyone…anyone?
