    The U.S. deficit hit $984 billion in 2019, soaring during Trump era

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/b…

    • hmm the link doesnt show the graph... deficit has grown.but quite typical. likely same percentage from bush to obama
      ********
    • not to say growing deficits are good. i find both quite awful and think neither party is concerned nor is the voting population. to curb than means real cuts
      ********
    • and waht politicians will be hired in saying what you had last year you wont have this year we need to practice responsibility. hence the trillion dollar
      ********
    • programs being peddled while 300 billion deficit increase seems super big even if that much money was just dumped into the repo markets.
      ********
    • lol... same percentage? Obama inherited a recession while Trump's economy is "booming"? how tf are those comparable?scruffics
    • America is fucking bankruptscruffics
    • anyone that try's to defend this - massive spending on nothing, ballooning our debt in a prosperous time, is beyond help.formed
    • Do you think Trump can beat Obama's 1.5 trillion dollar record?robotron3k
    • Can you not see the graph to the left? Trump won already. Biggest deficits! MAGAmathinc

    • LOL @ defending the R's spending.zarkonite
    • Fake graph is still fakerobotron3k
    • Fake?monospaced
    • It's only "fake" when it doesn't suit R's agenda. We all know reality means nothing to them.formed
    • I hate trump as much as the next guy but this graph is totally made up, check out the WAPO article it has the real data.zarkonite
    • well paywall on link. but how can a trump line from 17-19 be compared from a 14-17. if you did the same shit with a bush graph you'd see
      ********
    • not a comparison but an exponential growth in debt. which is terrible on home makers books, but globally a whole different story
      ********
    • good guys finish last and monetized debt is power. question is how long it will last
      ********
    • and its a non party related growth. its a fiscal issue that crosses partisan divides
      ********
