How many of these $8tr in debt were due to covid though? Context matters, and just like Obama had no other choice than to make a lot of debt during the immediate aftermath of the financial collapse, Trump had no other choice than to blow the budget during covid. If Democrats had gotten their way, there would have been even more lockdowns and stimulus checks.
Trump was already running up the deficit before covid, but not nearly at the same pace - and that was with a strong economy to back up the fiscal expansion.
Biden DID give everyone a stimulus cheque
twice since becoming president and still isnt projected to spend 60% of what 45th spent during his tenure
wake the fuck up sheep
