  Interesting… I had looked here: https://www.thebalancemoney.com/us-deficit-by-year-3306306 https://www.thebalancemoney.com/us-deficit-by-year-3306306 (quick google search, first result) Which seems to show a different story. But looks like there is a lot of analysis on the numbers which can be done? (Eg I saw something in your article about ‘Biden will contribute 1.9T to the debt by 2031’.. even if he hadn’t gotten reelected, he wouldn’t be in office in 2031, so this includes the long-term effects of policies?)

  On the contrary. Republicans universally "bring up" the deficit when in power. They only ever talk about it during Democratic administrations though.

    Many republican candidates talked about deficit, including Trump. Then in power introduced budget cuts.
