President Joe Biden has added twice as much debt in his roughly 2.5 years in the White House, compared to former President Trump over the same period.

The national debt surpassed $32 trillion Friday, reaching $32.03 trillion, according to Treasury Department data.

The national debt has increased by roughly $4.3 trillion from $27.7 trillion since Biden took office on Jan. 20, 2021.

The Democrat president had a Democratic-led House and Senate to work with until January 2023 when the GOP took the House majority.

The national debt increased $2.1 trillion from the time Trump was inaugurated on Jan. 20, 2017 to June 17, 2019 – from $19.9 trillion to $22 trillion.

All have sold you out. Best to take care of your family, be squared away, and prepare to do battle with orcs and goblins everyday.

The problem was Trump’s fourth year, which they conveniently exclude. All time most government spending on a year? Trump 2020. Largest debt increase in history? Trump 2020.

Here is an interesting article regarding a recent poll:

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/june-harvard-caps-harris-poll-194200424.html

Item: “64% of voters say they would want to live in a state that cuts taxes, encourages public charter schools, does not allow gender surgery for minors, and restricts most abortions after six weeks.”

Item: “By contrast 66% of voters – including a majority of all parties – say they would not want to live in a state that has increasing taxes, restricts legal gun ownership more strictly, allows abortion up to 9 months, allows minors to get gender surgery without parental permission, encourages undocumented immigrants, and allows felons to vote.”


The majority of our nation is not as “progressive” as the media likes to pretend. Polls such as this lends credence to my belief that elections are “fixed” and have been for years.

It’s been plenty more $$ than that. ALL the spending done by Bidet between Jan 20 and Sept 30, was tacked onto the last FY of the Trump administration.
