These are not the stories the news will waste 1 second on. They have more important stuff like a woman who signed her own yearbook.

I despise Obama but during his first year in office starting in January, 2009, the U.S. economy was still coming out of the Great Recession. Unemployment was over 8%. The stock market reached its low point during the recession on March 9, 2009, less than 2 months after Obama was inaugurated. Federal tax collections were down.

So the "first 11 months deficit" comparison is fake news.

Years later even Obama laughed when the words "shovel ready" were mentioned.

Not to mention that the first 8-9 months of any administration relies on a budget passed by the prior admin/Congress. Government fiscal year is October-September. That link is fake news on multiple levels. Completely useless comparison that's not really based on action taken by Obama or Trump.
