Tell me when the Don adds $10 trillion to the national debt, like Ears did?The Trump recession is here. It was hiding in plain sight before as burgeoning debt which is now going nuclear.
Trump's answer to the recession is to go nuclear on debt and slash payroll tax.
If Donald Trump slashes taxes further the debt growth will go to > 10 x GDP growth as the GDP slows to zero or goes negative.
Taxes will dive from loss of payroll taxes and from the decline in economic activity. The budget deficit could double to $2 Trillion.
This was always the danger of Trump's debt-fueled economy.
Trump's biography never progressed beyond chapter 11.
Donald Trump is sick and he has infected Uncle Sam.
Hmmmmm. For 3 years liberals have been telling us the current economic boom was Obama's baby. Now, all of a sudden, it's all Trump's fault. Which is it?
The growth is Obama's until the Trump depression hit.
The debt bomb is all Donald Trump's.
If he gets 4 more years he will add far more than Obama did.
Going budget year to budget year (i.e. Oct 1 2009 to Sept 30 2017)
Obama added $2,848,864,083 to the national debt each and every day he was in office.
So far Trump has added $3,630,369,128 to the debt each and every day he has been in office.
Keep in mind that Trump's deficit will continue to grow for the foreseeable future and we will have a recession during the next 4 years, they are inevitable.
Love to see where you got those figures.....the view, who got them from a blogger's opinion piece.
I do not do blogs, but I would be happy to explain the math to you. I will try and keep it simple so you can understand.
I got the debt data from the government...Debt to the Penny (Daily History Search Application)
On 1 Oct 2009 the debt stood at $11,920,519,164,319.
On 30 Sept 2017 the debt stood at $ 20,244,900,016,053
That is an additional $ 8,324,380,851,734 added to the debt by Obama.
There were 2922 days between 1 Oct 2009 and 30 Sept 2017. (365.25 times 8)
$ 8,324,380,851,734 divided by 2922 equals $ 2,848,864,083 (rounded to the nearest dollar)
On 1 Oct 2017 the debt stood at $ 20,244,900,016,053.
On 6 March 2020 the debt stood at $ 23,468,667,801,947 (I use 6 Mar because that is the last day reported by the site)
That is an additional $ 3,223,767,785,894 added to the debt by Trump.
There were 888 days between 1 Oct 2017 and 6 Mar 2020. (I used this site to calculate the days...Calculate Duration Between Two Dates – Results)
$ 3,223,767,785,894 divided by 888 equals $ $3,630,369,128 (rounded to the nearest dollar)
I hope that helps.
