RE: Today in History : USA national debt hits a staggering $1 trillion

in #history5 years ago

Interesting chart showing that whenever Republican increased debt dramatically while ever Democrat stabilized it for the next cycle (without judgment just observing). This means a staggering increase in debt with trump. Any numbers on this maybe?

that's what you got out of this? Even though the Obama years have the largest increase of all? I would imagine that it is very easy to find that information about Trump online :)

Just look at the trend, Obama achieved the increase in debt to stagnate at the end of his turn...

Yes it took him a term to turn around Bushs debt increase trend. Btw got a lot out of this post, just commented on the most interesting chart for me - the rest wasn't new for me. Still very nice to read your post ;)

yeah i hear a lot of politicians claim that they "inherited" the debt but in reality all presidents only inherit around 8 months of a previous president's stuff. I think what we are looking at now (and will continue to see) is that a trend started in the early 80's that forever changes the landscape of the presidency in the United States.... One of excessive spending to keep the masses happy with very little regard paid to the future consequences of said actions.

So true!
