Growing the economy only works if you aren’t also growing the deficit with it.
Look at the last 3 years. We’ve evolved the greatest economy in world history and yet instead of taking advantage of it to chip away at our debt we spent, and spent, and spent.
The annual debt is been running $1.2 trillion/year under Trump. I blame the Rats, but it is what it is.
That means $9.t trilion debt during an 8 year presidency. This crisis alone is adding $4-5 trillion in new debt.
We are talking some $15 trillion new debt in Trump’s 2 terms.
The debt is now pushing $25 trillion, so it will be pushing $40 trillion by the time Gavin Newsome or Kamilla Harris wins the presidency in 2024.
