Nope. I gave you 2 facts. The interest on the debt is around 266 billion. The debt increased by over 600 billion. Ergo, it is a FACT that more than half the debt CANNOT be from interest.Considering that the interest on the national debt is 266 billion and the debt increased by over 600 billion that excuse is way off base.I can answer that, we didn't reduce the debt, we reduced new debt. Unfortunately we're still paying interest on 20 trillion at a bare minimum. That's one reason I'm surprised of good news at all. I wouldn't have expected it. If Trump runs another 7 years and the worst we sit is say 28-30 T, I would say we did better than expected, but we're not even close to correcting the problem. Just the interest is astronomical.
Personally, I don't believe we'll ever reduce the debt. I believe the last time that occured was under Nixon. Clinton claimed it, but they played with the books, and our economy was awesome with "buyer incentives" and the tech. explosion.
Clearly it is not a case of simple interest wiping any gains Trump made - those gains themselves are simply not there.
Excuse? You're off your rocker, it wasn't an excuse because Trump doesn't need one. Your post is wrong on too many levels. Be honest, if Trump saved your dog you'd suggest wrong-doing or failure.
You come back with a platitude about my dog. Try again.
