It shot up under Obama, but note that it also shot up under Lyndon Baines Bush from 2000 onward. We have not had a fiscally conservative government in this country since Ronald Reagan. The closest we came after him — and its a sad statement — was Bill Clinton and that’s because we had a somewhat conservative Congress to hold him back on spending.

And you forgot to mention that The first Rapist also was the first president to successfully pass an unconstitutional retroactive tax increase.
Plus the first a*****e to tax Social Security Income.

Pretty much permanent tax increases.
