I'm going to post this because it's relevant, and because your thread may be a very lonely place -

Since the end of WWII, here's fed outlays as a percent of GDP for the presidents:

Truman - 16.2%
Eisenhower - 17.4%
Kennedy - 18.0%
Johnson - 18.4%
Nixon - 19.0%
Ford - 20.5%
Carter - 20.7%
Reagan - 21.6%
Bush I - 21.3%
Clinton - 18.7%
Bush II - 20.0%
Obama - 21.3%
Trump - 26.4%
Biden - 24.7%

It is quite expensive to fix the monumental fuk ups that the Obama admin brought upon us. It will be much more expensive to fix the fuk ups of his third term currently happening now.

Not that meaningful, and it’s skewed badly by Covid in any event. Can we just look at the actual numbers? Deficit spending in US dollars.

According to your numbers Trump and then Biden each blew the top off the budget.

In a Trump v Biden race there is no fiscal conservative. Both are big spenders each spending roughly 25% more than all the presidents since WWII.

While we argue about Ukraine, the border, abortion, and making America great again; neither guy is an answer to our budget issues.
