America has already been given away by TRAITOR Republicans Putin's useful idiots. In just 3 years, America has increased its national deficit, become a world joke, lost global leadership and has become globally irrelevant while it's GDP is below 2%, while Russia is far better in every way than it was 3 years ago. Thank the stupid morons who voted for Republican TRAITORS Putin's useful idiots...

US debt as a % of GDP fell nearly every year from 1947-1981 (except a tiny bump in 1980). In 81, it fell again. Then the Reagan tax cut.

A few years later we had the Clinton tax increase and the debt began to fall again. But not for long. Bush cut taxes numerous times and undid every penny of debt reduction. Then the Great Recession hit and all hell broke loose.
