under all of them the national debt kept rising & went exponential under bush. obama was even worse & although it seems impossible rump is outdoing them all.
The 2019 US defence budget spend is US $693 billion - so it would be simple to reduce the defecit if the war machine started to shrink
Unfortunately, the new bill is requesting $718 billion for 2019/2020...it is a bill supported by both parties...
@thinktwice that is the obscene problem of the USA
The part of the Republican party that I was originally attracted to was their intense platform on reducing our debt...I remember seeing the daily ticker on how much debt each American was in for...it was horrible and worried me to death...
It is clear that they have no qualms in increasing this debt...what happened? They are not fiscally conservative at all!!
That's because Repubs love all tax breaks and would like to eliminate all taxes if they could on the upper classes. The are also somewhat bigger warmongers than Dems. That's how they create deficits...
