Trump ran up national debt twice as much as Biden: new analysis

https://www.axios.com/2024/06/24/trump-biden-debt-deficits-election

But Trump's contribution was significantly higher, according to the fiscal watchdogs at the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, thanks to both tax cuts and spending deals struck in his four years in the White House.
By the numbers: Trump added $8.4 trillion in borrowing over a ten-year window, CRFB finds in a report out this morning.

Biden's figure clocks in at $4.3 trillion with seven months remaining in his term.
If you exclude COVID relief spending from the tally, the numbers are $4.8 trillion for Trump and $2.2 trillion for Biden.

Republicans as the party of fiscal responsibility is a joke. A bad one.

How can any republican who is concerned about the debt support Trump?

Both parties run up the debt. The fact they have convinced you otherwise means they have won.

 

[wizzard426]

The house that wrote the budget.......the Senate that passed the budget.........

Oh look! "The other side does it tooooooooooooooo, Mom!"

Balance Equivalency fallacy at its finest.

Republicans commit 98% of all racially-motivated incident, Democrats the remaining 2%...."Both parties do it!"

Both parties during 45 ran up the debt twice as fast as both parties during 46.

B-b-b-but.

BS

 

[Intrigued42]

Is it any wonder that the 6x-bankruptcy filer, non-payer of debts would run up those kinds of numbers? Yes, both parties are guilty. The last time we had a balanced budget and actually reduced the deficit was during the Clinton administration. However, looking ahead to the proposed "policies" of the potential, future administration(s) based on their current positions:

Biden's Policies are better for the economy​

Conservatives, don't let something as unimportant as facts get in the way of your narrative. The national debt didn't exist until Joe Biden was sworn into office.

Blame congress, they determine spending allocations, the president signs the bills into law.

The Republicans controlled the House and Senate in 2017 and 2018, so blame them.

I blame Congress for requiring detention of migrants yet not providing proper budgeting.

So the Republican controlled house and Senate with a Republican president ran up the debt more than a democratic controlled house and Senate with a democratic president.

Fucking traitor clown with your rationalizations.

Don't ever bring up the debt again.

I know that you'd rather be Russian than a democrat.

This is why you are a traitor. You justify, rationalize and accept deplorable behavior from Trump and still support him. You will sell out the country to support your orange savior. All while thinking you are saving it. But you ignore every fact along the way in favor of propaganda.

Nobody said anything about snow. Weird response. Are you having another stroke?

During Covid democrats were just as complicit for spending increases. You’re a laugh a minute.

THE TWO SANTAS STRATEGY: HOW THE GOP HAS USED AN ECONOMIC SCAM TO MANIPULATE AMERICANS FOR 40 YEARS


https://www.milwaukeeindependent.co...-economic-scam-manipulate-americans-40-years/

Here’s how it works, laid it out in simple summary:

First, the Two Santas strategy dictates, when Republicans control the White House they must spend money like a drunken Santa and cut taxes to run up the U.S. debt as far and as fast as possible.

This produces three results: it stimulates the economy thus making people think that the GOP can produce a good economy; it raises the debt dramatically; and it makes people think that Republicans are the “tax-cut Santa Clauses.”

Second, when a Democrat is in the White House, Republicans must scream about the national debt as loudly and frantically as possible, freaking out about how “our children will have to pay for it!” and “we have to cut spending to solve the crisis!” Shut down the government, crash the stock market, and damage US credibility around the world if necessary to stop Democrats from spending money.

This will force the Democrats in power to cut their own social safety net programs and even Social Security, thus shooting their welfare-of-the-American-people Santa Claus right in the face.

That would be you. It takes a lot of hot air to support Trump. Traitor.

Are you saying the big strong House Democrats bullied the wimpy Senate and wimpy Trump into deficit spending?

Both parties have sold us into debt. I’ve always had a negative opinion of congress when it comes to spending excesses.
