Obama inherited that trillion dollar deficit thanks to Bush crashing the economy.Agreed. That didn't start with Trump.
Obama had 4 consecutive 1 trillion dollar deficits back when things were managable.
I've been screaming about it for 20 years.
And nobody listened....until now.
And our congress is NOT going to touch it.
He then set about cutting the deficit in HALF before he left office.
Then Trump and the Republican Congress immediately set about DOUBLING the deficit BEFORE Covid.
Trump is adding more to the debt than Obama and Biden combined.
Just like Bush and the Republican Congress doubled the federal debt.
It baffles the blazes out of me how there are seriously deluded idiots out there who actually bleev Republicans are the party of fiscal responsibility. The bleev only the Democrats are overspenders.
Amazing.
Right now, as some of them are reading this post, they are finding ways in their pointy heads to blame Biden and/or the Democrats for Trump's debt. Even though every one of them held Obama personally responsible for every penny of debt run up on his watch.
