Oh Lord, trillion dollar deficits for FIVE YEARS?? You can bet the Democrats will make this a huge issue during the election. Both parties are responsible for this catastrophe. Neither one wants to make the hard decisions. There will come a time when there will be no choice. You cannot maintain massive entitlements and a massive military at the same time. One or the other will have to be cut. And if the Democrats create a massive new entitlement program with Medicaid or whatever else they come up with, that will only hasten the inevitable. It is either start reducing and cutting or fall into governmental default. That choice now looks like the only solution for these cowards in Congress and the ignorant American population.
I’m not so sure they’ll make it a campaign issue. The people who vote D are clueless about so many things. I doubt half of them even comprehend what the word “deficit” means.
what do you mean, trillion dollar deficits for five years?
in 2008 obama took office with a 9.7T$ debt.
in 2016, obama left office with a 19.8T$ debt.
that is 10.1T$ over his 8 years in office.
that means Obama ran a 1.2Trillion Dollar average deficit while he was in office.
Your post makes it sound like a 1T$ deficit is unusual, when it was the standard during Obama.
