“I don’t think that a beautiful baby girl needs — that’s 11 years old — needs to have 30 dolls,” Trump said. “I think they can have three dolls or four dolls, because what we were doing with China was just unbelievable. We had a trade deficit of hundreds of billions of dollars with China.”
“I’m just saying, they don’t need to have 30 dolls. They can have three. They don’t need to have 250 pencils; they can have five,” he added.
What are you quoting? It’s bad form to post a quote without an attribution. And, of course, your post doesn’t really address mine at all.
In total, we estimate legislation signed by the President will have added $4.1 trillion to the debt between 2017 and 2029.
The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) was the single largest contributor to the $4.1 trillion figure, increasing debt by $1.8 trillion through 2029 (more than the entire cost is through 2027). This number could easily climb higher if lawmakers extend the individual tax cuts that are set to expire after 2025, which would add another $1 trillion to the debt.
You made a very simple statement. I had no idea what you were saying nor where you were going with your statement. Now that you have clarified it, I’ll take a quick look and respond.
The $4.1 trillion is a projected increase over the course of 10 years, by a committee that doesn’t favor tax decreases. Thus, your claim about “Trump raised the dept by about $4 trillion before COVID” isn’t accurate.
Long time ago I started a thread back in 2016 during campaign that republicans created Trump because of failures of republicans policies. Our host talked about it on radio…and that night talked about it during his television open monologue.
Well I’m here to say…I was wrong. Libs…libs like the very ones on this board and everywhere else created Trump with there stupid ass policies over the last couple decades.
Oh, you’re playing semantics. Yes, it’s a projected 10-year increase based on policies and legislation approved by Trump. He added more to the debt than Biden did. This time will be different, though.
Through June 2024:
President Trump approved $8.4 trillion of new ten-year borrowing during his full term in office, or $4.8 trillion excluding the CARES Act and other COVID relief.
President Biden, in his first three years and five months in office, approved $4.3 trillion of new ten-year borrowing, or $2.2 trillion excluding the American Rescue Plan.
President Trump approved $8.8 trillion of gross new borrowing and $443 billion of deficit reduction during his full presidential term.
President Biden has so far approved $6.2 trillion of gross new borrowing and $1.9 trillion of deficit reduction.
Why can’t we just agree that authoritarianism should be rejected no matter which side is doing it? Trump’s actions are not justified by Biden’s, and vice versa.
