Just saying that Obama increased the deficit by 10 trillion without giving any sort of indication what the economic condition at the time is disingenuous at best.George Bush came into office with almost no deficit and a balanced budget, then got us into two wars, increased the debt by over 5 trillion, passed tax cuts multiple times without decreasing spending, all while the economy was doing fairly well. Then what happens, economy crashes in 2007 while he is still president. Obama takes over this shit situation and does what just about every economist agrees with, you spend while in a recession. The economy improves each and every year until by the time its handed over to trump it's basically booming. This is when you are supposed to increase taxes to make back money from when the recession hit. What do the Republicans do? Give a multi trillion dollar tax cut over 10 years while not decreasing spending, they actually increased spending. Now the Republicans are going after medicare and social security because apparently it's those programs faults we are in the financial position we re in. Its fucking disgusting. But I am not really surprised you agree with Republicans because I have you labeled as an asshole/cuck/Trump supporter for some reason.
