That said Trump didn't care about the deficit. Heck even Reagan only kept it from increasing.

Years ago here I researched the so called 'surplus' from a few years back by looking at total government debt. There might, maybe, have been a 12 month period were it actually went down but it didn't fit into the fiscal year. Again, this was looking at government debt. If there was a real surplus it would've gone down. Politicians and smoke and mirrors, go figure.

It was close though.



The debt clock says every taxpayer owes $240k now. Up from $148k in 2012 and estimated $302k in 2026. Although I wonder what figure they're using for inflation.

Most of the Total Government Debt was accumulated by Repubs.
