Seems a little early to cheer for Trump since his "count" didn't start till Oct 1.

And really sucking at it!

It is interesting that if one goes back 50 years (so modern political history) the party known as spenders has added a total of 156% to the debt, while the "conservative" party has added 422%.

 

[WinterBorn]

As someone pointed out, Trump contribution to the national debt only started 5 months ago, as oppose to 4 or 8 years for the rest.

But what really bothers me is this idea that whomever raised the debt the least wins. No. That is absolutely unacceptable. No Debt is acceptable.

Pay it down. Pay back Social Security.

Paying down the debt will never happen. The last president to do so was also the last Conservative president we have had. I have given up on that pipe dream.

if it's that easy why didn't obama do it?

the constant spitting on anything good about trump gets old. i just find it funny all the obama fans (not you necessarily) got all upset at the bullshit flung at obama and said it wasn't fair yet they do the same thing cause it was done to them.

most parents teach their kids not to do that somewhere around the 4th grade yet here we are living our identity politics and doing just that. revenge. MUST HAVE REVENGE!!

I didn't like what Oblama did either or Congress, and trying to run from the present into the past is not responsible..

not much of what either side has been doing in the last few elections has been responsible.

I think this is hilarious. After 8 years of slamming Obama, in some of the crudest ways ever, the republicans why crying about how Trump is treated? Really?

Don't be ridiculous. The only time EITHER party is worried about the national debt is when the other party is in the Oval Office.

You must be joking. You CANNOT believe that Trump is fiscally responsible. You can't.

Trump just blew 1.5 Trillion a tax-cut bill, which is more than ALL of Obama signed spending combined, so take your ridiculous 4% and shove it up your ass.

Trillion-dollar deficits will hit sooner than expected

they are not - i am. you're taking what i am saying and making a strawman out of it. and when i say REVENGE then it must follow to reason that the other side did it also. we've been at each other like this for so long no one remembers "who started it" so we keep starting it over and over and over.

if you have issue with what i say - talk to *me* about it. going after all republicans in some generic rant isn't really a good response.
