about $50.0 billion reduction in deficit....
First time in a long time.
Something to celebrate.
Huh....no GWB in your list of culprits eh? Bush actually DOUBLED the US national dept under his terms, when Clinton left him with a balanced or near balanced budget deficit.
Your efforts to win the board asshole of the year are paying off.
This is from a thread I started: (read post #24)
Well.....this is great news.
The 2025 deficit was 1.97 trillion. Total revenue was 4.69 trillion which means our deficit was 42% of total revenue and 29.5% of total spending.
I don't have an actual figure, but you can count on 1 trillion of spending on debt servicing alone. 1 FREAKING TRILLION.
In 2024 the deficit was 1.83 trillion.
AND NOBODY CARES (in government).
This is beyond reprehensible.

Total debt is 37.3 trillion. We'll be over 40 before Trump leaves.
We are selling our kids down the river.
You, like so many on this on this board decide from day to day:
What side of the bed you woke up on
What time of the month it is
And run your mouths accordingly.
BTW: You'll see in my thread that I give Clinton all the credit in the world for having a surplus. The CBO projected Bush could have paid our 5 Trillion dollar debt to zero if he hadn't decided to go to war. I hate Bush....literally.
Bush left Obama with a Big dollar plus deficit, that Obama had to try to work down under his terms....
No he didn't. Bush's last deficit wasn't as bad as Obama's. But Bush could have had us in much much betters shape.
Obama ran the first trillion dollar deficit and presided over such a slow recovery that his following three years he was over a trillion. At first, he can be granted some room for the crappy economy Bush left him. But not five years worth.
And no Trump in your culprits of adding to the HUMONGOUS deficit in his first term, eh?
Boy oh boy are you messed up in aa alternative reality of MAGA World.....
Trump took Obama's deficit which was on the decline and started increasing it. It didn't reach a trillion....but it got close. His last year was Covid, just like Biden's first year. But Biden then continued with trilllion dollar deficits.
I know just what world I live in.
I have always been critical of Trump.
But the fact remains you stupid east-coast asswipe, the deficit is down from the previous year (he actually is about 200 Billion down from the projected deficit (based on Biden's budget).
That is the subject of this thread.
So cram your little whataboutisms.
BUT all of his 4 years in office he increased the national debt by 39%, and although in dollars Biden who also had covid under his reign, and more in dollars added, Biden added 30% to the National debt in his 4 years.
Your numbers make no sense. But that's not uncommon.
Simple math says you are full of shit.
BOTH HORRIBLE! But leaving out Republicans from the spanking they too deserve, was intellectually dishonest, on your part, imo.
The original projection for last fiscal was about 150 Billion over the previous year.
Trump came in (in his first year which is more challenging) 50 billion below last year.
Meaning he was 200 Billion below projected.
That is a fact.
You can talk out your fat ass all you want, but that is a fact.
That is the topic of this thread.
My other thread addresses this in more detail.
This thread is about Trumps REDUCTION from last year. The first time in over a decade.
