Combined with irresponsible slashing of revenueAll it’s done is explode the debt.
Excessive spending has exploded the debt
We used to be a great society that did great things
We built the Panama Canal, Hoover Damn, TVA, Interstate Highway System......we even went to the moon
Then we sold out to Supply Side Economics......slash taxes at the top and watch the wealth and prosperity trickle down
Instead, they just kept the money
We beg poverty when major projects are proposed. Can’t afford modern infrastructure. Roads, Bridges, mass transit, modern communications and power grids.......all are neglected
Tax revenue is up
