Obama ran up more debt than all other presidents that proceeded him combined. The debt grew 86% in 8 years


Dumbest talking point ever and insanely ignorant.

Do some research on discretionary spending under Obama. Lowest of any administration in about 50 years outside of the stimulus package which was written during Bush's administration right before he left to try and prevent an outright depression.

Mandatory spending gonna mandatory spend.

Here is what will happen...

Since Trump and the republicans decided to add 2 more trillion on top of what was ALREADY going to be added with their idiotic tax cut, then both parties decided to talk on another 600 billion today, people better start to accept the fact a massive tax increase is coming in a couple of years just as the U.S. economy starts to slow down again.

Book it.
