In 2017, the US national debt surpassed $20 trillion for the first time.
Former President Donald Trump added about $7.8 trillion to the debt with spending and tax cuts.
The debt ceiling needs to be raised to cover past fiscal decisions.
Not many people outside the Beltway truly understand what the US's debt ceiling is or how and when it needs to be raised. And Senate Republicans are banking on that.....
But the debt is also a product of Republicans' 2017 tax cut, which reduced federal revenues - corporate tax rates dropped from 35% to 21% - without a commensurate cut in federal spending.

We shall see how this plays out all sides have spent too much money that is for sure especially in connection with COVID.

$7.8 trillion to the debt with spending and tax cuts.
GOP has been only too eager to pass egregious spending bills. They are complicit and have no warrant to complain. They might muscle up once in awhile to stop the rat scumbags, but over time, they have proven to be worthless.
I don’t absolve the Republicans for being go along to get
along folks. I do think that Gingrich and Company did more
to help Clinton get things under Control than Democrats do
to help Republicans get things under control.
I won’t bring up Ryan and McConnell...
I’ve said for years that as a fiscal conservative, I agree with basically no Democrats and maybe - maybe - half the Republicans.
Ever since it's just a mutual gratification with a big porkulus load.
>> Trump added about $7.8 trillion to the debt with spending and tax cuts.
No back asswards logic there...

You are the best Democrat Party PR bots around here
How about ONE time you do not leap to the defense of your Democrat party gods by blaming the GOP for what the Democrats are actually doing?
How about ONE TIME you grown up and hold the Democrats accountable for their actions instead of whining 24-7-365 at the GOP?
And here we go. Exactly what the Democrat’s want. A bunch of fake “Conservatives” whining hysterically about the speck in the GOPs eye instead of the 2 by 4 in the Democrat’s eyes
How about ONE TIME you all stop knee jerk whining at the GOP and actually hold the Dems accountable for what they are doing?
One can argue about whether Clinton really balanced the budget, but it was not too far off. Then Bush and Cheney and the neocons and the war on terror war on the middle east and war war war and oh borrow borrow borrow. So, actually, I blame Bush and the chickenhawk neocons [on both sides of the aisle]

Back in the immigration debate of 1984, we proposed a five-word Constitutional amendment: There shall be open borders. We have repeated this periodically since under an editorial headline invoking Liberty’s torch, “The Rekindled Flame.” …The WSJ has a bit too many people on its editorial board who are on the left themselves.

Biden’s massive spending plans include:
$3 billion for ‘tree equity’,
$12 billion for electric cars,
$1 billion more to turn government facilities into ‘high-performance green buildings’
plus millions more for gender identity and bias training.
More importantly, the entire Biden Crime Family.......even the littlest Biden.......all get to be multi-billionaires.
What a load of crap. Tax cuts don't add to the debt. Spending does.
What is the point of a "debt ceiling" if they just raise it every time they get there?
Who gives a crap what “the truth” is?
Has there been ANY benefit to “telling the truth” in the last decade? Have voters given their vote to truth tellers?
Have liars been punished? I’d say the record is quite the opposite.
