I hate democrats but let's be honest. This spending binge started with the globalist NWO, WOT, crowd e.g. Bush and Cheney. That is when income - outgo turned sharply negative. Obama merely continued the trend, which Biden is continuing. And it went for DHS stuff - encasing the National Library of Medicine in more security that a nuclear weapons base. All to pay off the inside the beltway swamp crowd. And we skimped on a real military as a consequence.
This one is on "our team," and I have to spit the bitter taste out of my mouth every time I think what the neocons are doing not just to our country but the world.
They knew China was coming but spent gazillions losing the war for the hearts and minds of camel jockeys.
