You are not being honest!

Trump campaigned on actually getting rid of the deficit, and certainly not by adding 8 trillion!

Trump borrowed 8 trillion to give to himself and his rich friends with huge tax cuts---at a time when he did not have enough taxes as it was!

He should have lived within his means, by spending less or taxing more, BUT sure as hell should NOT have cut taxes!

Trump cut taxes deeply. He cut capital gains taxes from 35% to 21%!

So of course there was a huge deficit!

Why would he, or the Republicans do that when they know they are running a deficit?

And some of it was pandemic spending, which was necessary, but has NOTHING to do with balancing the budget!

Do you cut your income when you don't have enough to pay your bills?

And it is doubly irresponsible because he borrowed it from the kids!
