The stupid seem really stupid in doing their own searces (sic) for facts. That is why they remain stupid in general. I agree, but you really shouldn't be so hard on yourself. However, I have noticed from many of your other posts that you don't seem to understand the underlying points and you can't seem to construct a relevant counter-argument. I will restate my point that the primary stupidity of this chart is that it shows eleven years of increasing debt attributed to Obama. I will try to respect you enough and not explain why that is stupid. A second stupidity is that Obama started his term in January of 2009, and the idiot who created the plot didn't know or care. Trump started his term in January of 2017, and so four of the years of the chart should belong to Trump. A competent person creating the chart would indicate that the 2020 value must be an estimate for that year, and because we are still in 2019, that value must also be an estimate for the full year. The debt shows a continuing increase for the Trump years, but if that was shown in a different color, a competent person could see that Trump was adding significantly more debt. The creator was either just stupid or cynical enough to believe that the right-wingers wouldn't know any better. Given the level of critical thinking on this board, he was probably correct in his cynicism. Additionally, I don't believe Trump's $1 trillion deficits are properly added to the chart, but that's another story. My comments have been related to the idiotic labeling of this chart, and I did not mention or comment on the accuracy of the underlying numbers before this post.
