Obamacare didn't add to the deficit?

Since you brought this up but are still denying mathematical facts, here all the annual deficits for the last few years, without any cherry picking, because I'm not trying to prove a partisan point...

2019 - $960 billion budget deficit (projected)
2018 - $779 billion budget deficit
2017 - $665 billion budget deficit
2016 - $585 billion budget deficit
2015 - $439 billion budget deficit
2014 - $514 billion budget deficit
2013 - $719 billion budget deficit
2012 - $1.1 trillion budget deficit
2011 - $1.3 trillion budget deficit
2010 - $1.3 trillion budget deficit
2009 - $1.4 trillion budget deficit
2008 - $455 billion budget deficit

SO you tell me Pete, who is responsible for the largest deficits? What do the facts tell you? If I posted unemployment by year, that would also send you running to hide under your bed.

Who is lying? Gimme a break...
So what you’re saying is that Obama, who inherited a record deficit, yet managed to slash it dramatically over his term, which was passed to Trump, who even with a strong economy has managed to get us back to a trillion dollar deficit.

I’ve got that right?
