Trump gave us 25% of our total debt in just 4 years with countless big time spending bills and stimulus packages, proposing and signing them all throughout his presidency. In addition Trump repeatedly asked for even more spending and stimulus. AND Trump's spending bills were long term bills, meaning they had spending proposals that continued for years after his presidency.
Now, in 2023 all the republicans that voted for all those spending bills, suddenly do not want to pay for them.
This is the epitome of "playing politics" The republicans always do this.
Trump's 2017 $4.7 T Tax cut and jobs act has spending appropriations all the way out to 2029. The Republicans did that, now they don;t want to pay for it, and want to shut down the government.
Trump and the GOP passed these spending bills pre-covid, in 2017 and 2019.
Trump ramped the annual US deficit from $587B/yr in 2016, to $987B/yr in 2019, to $3.1T/yr in 2020.
Biden has lowered the annual deficit from Trump's massive $3+T/yr to $1.3T/yr, a big drop.
The debt is from Trump and his policies and it started pre-covid. They are longterm spending policies that cost the US $trillions over several years out to 2029. The republicans that all voted for this spending are now trying to not pay for it, playing politics per usual.
The republicans always pull crap like this.
