Wasn't another of Trump's promises that he would wipe out the deficit and the debt?
When do we get tired of winning?

the ability to quote things that were never said is uncanny.
simple math 2019 - 15 = 2004 (Bush's 2nd term) |

There are times when deficit spending works but then the piper must be paid. But you can't keep borrowing and spending forever.
As a result, today, our kids & GKids are inheriting 22 Trillion in debt (and probably another 100T+ in obligations)
BOTH PARTIES - both sides, see that Wayne ; ) - got us here |

I agree you can't continue borrowing and spending. That is why Clinton and Obama both raised taxes - to bring in more revenue. Subsequent to that, the def. went down. If you want to say the Dems. always increase taxes, I'd agree with you. |
