looks like 6.4t in 2008, and in 2012 (first 4 years of obama) it was 16.3t.. so first 4 years of obama he nearly tripled the national debt

obama , bush and trump don't care about fiscal responsability, the debt in 2000 for example was $5.7 trilllion

in 2008 the debt was $10 trillion and in 2012 the debt was 16.3 trillion

no look at how much Obama spent compared to trump

wiki said it was 6.4 for some reason will look at other places

thats what she means

A new zeducated I see

i know man im not a trumpist, im not a democrat im a libertarian that's pissed whith the current president and the previous presidents for bankrupting the country

China has way more issues economically than just debt, plus debt at a national level isn't really overly relevant in actuality - hence why we just keep growing it

De Blasio's wife has to be the ugliest wife in politics....

treasurydirect says 10t while wikipedia says 6.369t I am more inclined to believe the crap government website over the wikibs website 🙂

and keep in mind: if the pandemic didn't start , the debt trump would've added would be $4.2 trillion in his first 3 years instead of $7 trillion

Sup people

that's why it's hard to reduce the debt, because people keep defending the stupid idiots that are bankrupting them

National debt is like impossible to get of probably

🌮

but it's possible to start decreasing it by cutting 1/5 of overall spending

no we can get out of it if we cut spending by 10% for 5 years... by a 10% cut i mean an actual cut... not a cut on projected spending.

I said probably

*hair flick*

I want something good to eat

our point of no return where the interest payment is too high to pay back is around 24T

I look at it this way, all presidents since after the civil war have gone into debt.... every single 1... it is stupid that they allow the debt ceiling to rise year after year... and it is near criminal incompetence that it has spiraled out of control this bad

and if we actually CUT 1/5 of spending the debt starts going down in the next yeat

not true... andrew jackson eliminated the debt... he hated the banks.

Isn't most of the money going to the military

no

not even close lol

*shrug*

actually it's 20% of the budget it's alot

social security and other social programs

are you guys getting the vaccine

No

Right yeah I'd agree the spending is more a problem than then debt itself

social security and military are like 85% of the budget

social programs take up nearly 50% of the budget..

How is everyone doing

social programs- 65 and military around 20-25 %

I thought trump has been trying not to get into war and such

Andrew Jackson was president 1829 to 1837... the civil war took place in the 1860's.....

If so then why is alot of money going to the military
