Listen dumb a$$ if you are going to play with numbers do it right. None of the deficit spending numbers are adjusted to constant dollars. You can compare a dollar of deficit spending in 1992 to a dollar in 2023. IT'S NOT THE SAME THING.

In 1992 the budget deficit was $290.3 billion.

Adjusted for inflation $290.3 billion is $634 billion in 2023 dollars. Get it?

So, your argument is that Trump spent more than anyone else, but adjusting for inflation he wasn't quite as bad as the others! Lol!

The truth is Trump had both houses of Congress his first two years and all he did was increase spending.

But let me guess your response: "He doesn't control spending! It was the swamp monsters in Congress who forced their agenda on him!" Lol.
