“They don’t but a big part of this deficit is due to the Fed raising interest rates which increases the interest costs on Obama’s debt.”

Good catch. That is likely a big chunk. Interest rates were artificially kept low longer than they should have. Now with Trump pro-growth policies kicking in the economy is doing well. No need for artificially low interest rates. Trump can’t have it both ways — good economy and artificially low interest rates.

...

Interest rates now are artificially high, thus the inverted yield curve. Economic growth does not cause inflation.

Trump is right to criticize the Fed. They cause more economic damage than a world war.
