You obviously don’t know why. The debt will never be reduced until the party in charge runs a surplus. The party in charge always comes into power under the budget of the previous admins with the gop who have always run up huge deficits due to massive tax cuts. All democrats can do is reduce the deficits, which they ALL HAVE. Without republicans cooperation, it’s not happening. You’re still struggling with deficit vs debt.
REMINDER….these are the deficits which collectively determine debt….it’s naive of you not to distinguish debt from deficits.
Reagan took the deficit from $70 billion to $175 billion. Bush 41 took it to $300 billion. Clinton got it to zero. Bush 43 took it from zero to $1.2 trillion. Obama halved it to $600 billion. Trump’s got it back to a trillion."
