Thanks for this article. I like Trump but was extremely disappointed to see the national deficit balloon to $1 trillion *before* COVID. After COVID, of course, all bets were off. I simply do not see why Trump did not veto any budget that spent more money than it received in tax revenue. The pre-COVID economic boom would have been a great time to pay down the deficit and thus reduce our reliance on China. If I ran my household budget the way the swamp runs our government, I’d be living in a cardboard box right now.
Trump is NOT a fiscal conservative. Never has been, never will be.
