Fuck! Why doesn't any Democrat point out that Trump is the one responsible for adding to the the

outrageous addition of 7.8 trillion to the US debt when these Trump ass kissers continue to say, "Well after Biden left us with the terrible debt" Jamison Greer the Trump trade representative said that before almost every statement he made today

It would be so easy to bring up how Trump is responsible for most of that deficit. Why don't they do that? The R's lie all the time about it

As early as February 20, she said the Republican budget resolution being debated was "not about balancing the budget. We all know that. Because they don’t plan to reverse one of the biggest drivers of the debt: Republican tax cuts. Despite all the boogeymen the Republicans like to point to as driving the national debt, the reality is that the single biggest driver of our national debt since 2001 has been Republican tax cuts."

is until someone decides to increase taxes.

Percentage wise, trump added more. But when one has to start arguing percentages with trumpsters, it's a waste of time.

Over the four years of President Biden’s term – from January 2021 through January 2025 – we estimate that he approved $4.7 trillion in new ten-year debt through legislation and executive actions.

Since taking office four years ago,
President Biden has added $8.4
trillion to our national debt. To be
fair, the Trump administration
added $7.8 trillion to the national
debt. This is truly a bipartisan
problem.
