GDP growth has increased by a third.
No, I'm exactly right. Obama's final 9 full quarters averaged 2% and Trump's first full 9 quarters averaged 2.7%, which is a third better.
Over Obama's last two years, the debt to GDP grew from 101.52% to 104.41
Under Trump, the debt to GDP has actually not grown at all, in fact, it's even come down a smidge, to 102.49
The Federal Government is deficit spending today, based on the agreement between Trump and the Democrat House.
The House controls the purse strings in our system.
He did his big spending while Pelosi controlled Congress, Boehner oversaw some improvement and Ryan was pretty much worthless, though Pelosi certainly isn't proving to be an improvement.
Just the facts, nothing but the facts.
Your exact words:
In inflation adjusted dollars, Trump's increased the Federal debt about 10% more than over the same period at the end of Obama's presidency, but, he has also increased GDP by a third more. so, still better.
Now you've changed your story to say that the GDP rate of increase is 33%. OK fine
An increase in growth rates by 33% isn't a poke in the eye!
... then you have to look at the rate of increase of the deficit......
Annual Deficit Obama's last year ~$600B,
Hold on Sparky, let's double check that.
The Federal Debt was $19,477.8 at the end of 2015
The Federal Debt was $20,380.8 at the end of 2016
During Obama's final year the indebtedness of the United States increased by $903 Billion - 50% higher than your claim.
... Deficits now $1+T. SOOOOOOOOOOO the deficits have increased at a rate of 80-100% (it will be 100% in a year). Sorry bud facts, you just don't have em, nice try though...
Over Trump's first two years the Federal debt increased to $22,075.2, an increase over two years of $1,694.4B an average annual increase of $847.2B/year, an improvement over Obama, even in nominal dollars.
...I repeat. The annual budget deficit under Trump has skyrocketed it has increased at a rate of almost 100% (~$600B to ~$1+T, it'll be 1.2T in 2020)...
"Skyrocket" you keep using that word, I do not think it means what you think it means. From Obama's final $903B to Trumps average $847.2B is a decrease, even in nominal dollars.
... , while we still haven't achieved annual 3% growth, with only a meager 30% rate of GDP increase...
33% is meager? We were told that Obama's 2% was just fine and reflected the new normal. Trump's given us 2.7%
At 2% growth the US economy doubles every 35 years.
At 2.7% it doubles every 25.9 years.
... (meager when compared to deficits) FACTS...
Trump's Debt as a percentage of GDP is actually down a bit over his first two years, whereas with Obama it was still in it's dangerous troublesome climb:
Over Obama's last two years, the debt to GDP grew from 101.52% to 104.41
Under Trump, the debt to GDP has actually not grown at all, in fact, it's even come down a smidge, to 102.49
...So When Obama has massive deficits w GOP house, they are all Obama's deficits, BUTTTTTTTTTT when Trump has massive deficits from his massive spending increases and his massive tax cut.... They are still Pelosi's fault!!!!! (BTW Obama's massive deficits were predominantly due to the great recession, but I still give him blame for them because they are his budgets. I'm not biased like you.)
What a fantasy land you live in. Basically your political bias prevents you from logical thought. You have 2 different sets of rules for D and R and this Pelosi Boehner thing proves that.
You misrepresent my reply to you. It is simply a Constitutional Fact that in our system the House of Representatives Controls the Purse Strings. That point is immune to refutation. It's clearly spelled out in the Contract between the American People and the Government they chose to form.
Pelosi 1 was a budget disaster - I told you that.
Boehner was an improvement.
Ryan was worthless
Pelosi 2 is no improvement over Ryan.
Stick with facts and truth and your confusion will lift and you'll be much happier!
Huh???
You actually think that the deficit has gone down under Trump?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
As a percentage of GDP, of course. It's undeniable.
Trump's Debt as a percentage of GDP is actually down a bit over his first two years, whereas with Obama it was still in it's dangerous troublesome climb:
Over Obama's last two years, the debt to GDP grew from 101.52% to 104.41
Under Trump, the debt to GDP has actually not grown at all, in fact, it's even come down a smidge, to 104.29
... Are you fckin nuts??????????????? Are you serious???????????????...
You are shocked to learn that 104.29% is less than 104.41%?
...so yeah his little bump of 2%- 2.7%...
It's a third faster growth.
... the massive deficits he has produced...
He's stopped the rise in debt to GDP that was occurring as Obama finished his second term and has even brought that number down a little.
... Again Obama stimulus $800B...
Old news, nearly a decade ago.
AHAHAHAHA!! AHAHAHAHA!!!!! (me falling out of my chair)
SO first you said this:
In inflation adjusted dollars, Trump's increased the Federal debt about 10% more than over the same period at the end of Obama's presidency, but, he has also increased GDP by a third more. so, still better.
Total fake news. Then when that was debunked you changed your story to: Trump's deficits were smaller than Obama's???? You used fake math to try and claim that Trump's deficits were smaller than Obamas last annual deficit??? LIE, more fake news by you.
You posted 2 complete lies.
NOWWWW you changed your story again to Trump debt to GDP is less than Obama's? Another lie:
United States Gross Federal Debt to GDP | 2019 | Data | Chart | Calendar
The US Bureau of Public Debt has Trump's debt to GDP at 106.1 in 2018, a record high, and another lie by you.
YOU ARE FAKE NEWS> you changed your story 3 times, and lied each time.
Additionally debt to GDP is a bad and volatile measure and doesn't tell the full story of our annual deficits.
In 2010 Obama had record deficits, over $1.2 T, but a debt-to-GDP of only 91. In 2015 Obama had much smaller deficits of ~$440B, not a bad number, but a debt-to-GDP of 105. Clearly in 2010 We had substantially worse deficits than 2015, but the debt to GDP was substantially lower than 2015. Clearly Debt-to GDP is a bad measure and doesn't tell the full story.
Basically you got caught saying something stupid, you tried to lie and change your story instead of admitting fault, and now you have tried to come up with a new lie. All of which have blown up in your face.
Anyway you slice it Trump's deficits are terrible and have skyrocketed.
Debt to GDP at 106, higher than Obama, and our annual deficits have exceed $1T much higher than 2016 (Obama's last year when he had $680B).
All this massive debt increase from his spending bills and tax cut, AND STILL no 3% annual growth, a small bump of 0.7%- that seems to be fading now as GDP is predicted to go back down towards 2%. BUTTTTTT deficits are predicted to soar even higher as Trump's multi-year spending increases will keep adding to our debt in the years to come.
Obama inherited the great recession from Bush- Obama passed the stimulus, $800B over 10 years. Trump has increased deficits by ~$2T over 4 years, more than double the entire Obama stimulus with only a meager increase in growth that seems to be fading.
Still no 3% annual growth... But almost a 100% increase in annual deficits. TERRIBLE.
What are you going to change your story to next?
