The CBO estimated in 2018 that the tax cut would increase deficits by about $1.9 trillion over 11 years.

 

Trump had the third-biggest primary deficit growth, 5.2% of GDP, behind only George W. Bush (11.7%) and Abraham Lincoln (9.4%). Bush, of course, not only passed a big tax cut, as Trump has, but also launched two wars, which greatly inflated the defense budget. Lincoln had to pay for the Civil War. By contrast, Trump’s wars have been almost entirely of the political variety.

Our national debt is now at its highest level relative to our economy since the end of World War II. After the war ended, the extraordinary military expenses disappeared, a postwar recovery began and the debt began to fall rapidly relative to the size of the economy.

let's also not forget his trade wars... which in premise I wasn't totally opposed to, his execution on the other hand, right on brand.

 

If you cant quantify the damage to the economy that the pandemic caused, none of those #s mean jack.

you could actually learn something from these conversations if you weren't so willfully ignorant.

if you read the article they (and I) are giving Trump as pass as far as pandemic spending in relation to the debt

I disagreed with nearly every aspect of the stimulus then and now.  sure, something needed to be done but our elected officials went full retard with BOTH parties and two presidents at the helm.  
 

here we are now, massive inflation, increased interest rates, stock market getting back to reality... and what still happened last month?

too many years of fed intervention, too much Gov. spending from both parties, not enough tax revenue, the list is almost endless of how poorly our elected officials and federal reserve have mismanaged 'the company' and as a shareholder of this company I'm dissatisfied with my ROI.  you?

I’ve been very vocal about PPP, that program was a disaster……Trump loves the word disaster. It still irks me that so many people are bothered by student loan forgiveness and PPP was worse at more than double the cost.

Why do you ignore that more than half of that spending was right at the onset of the pandemic with the world being shut down cold?  And before the pandemic he did it to put more take home pay in the middle class pockets to stimulate the economy, which it did.   He already told the congress that his next budget would not be the same.....you know...those people who actually load the thing up with pork and make deals with each other to get it passed.  Now please for the love of god, please shut the fuck up you windup repeating sock puppet.

Ben was 3x shorting back then.  He's a bit hurt still.
