- unnamed76ri 1y agoYes, thank you for providing a source that supports what I wrote. Big of you to highlight your prior mistake.
- scarface_74 1y agoAre you really saying that Clinton didn’t balance the budget that Bush II undid and that Trump’s latest “Big Beautiful Bill” is projected to add 3 trillion to the budget on top of what he did in 2017?
- unnamed76ri 1y agoI’m saying what I said originally: your statement was not factual. Your own source affirms that.
- scarface_74 1y agoSo which party’s presidents since Reagan have raised the deficit more?
- triceratops 1y agoIt doesn't support what you wrote. "The U.S. budget deficit exploded in fiscal year 2009, ultimately reaching $1.4 trillion under President George W. Bush...The deficit would remain above $1 trillion throughout the 2012 fiscal year, but it was slashed to as low as $440 billion in the later years of Obama's presidency." Comparing Biden to GWB doesn't make any sense. Their presidencies were 12 years apart and in very different circumstances.
