GWB was a moron. He had almost no debt when he took office.
I think W was a very bad president so I don't want you to interpret what I say as defending him. However what is your definition of 'almost no debt'? Our national debt was certainly lower back then but over 3 trillion is hardly anything close to almost no debt.
Of course with Trump before COVID we were heading towards trillion dollar deficits. Those tax cuts really kind of fucked us over now, huh?
Que?Our projections were that on the current course, we would have reduced the debt to zero in three years.

Projections for what years?
I’m not here to persuade knee-jerk trump haters that you are what you arethen you’ll have to be way more specific because right now you’ve given zero substance other than proof you’re a trump boot licker which we all already knew.I’m calling out knee-jerk trump haters who talk out both sides of your mouthAgain here is a republican who wants to blame voters not trump.Blaming trump for job losses is not going to workI always found one of the more maddening, unfounded criticisms of Obama by GOPer's (now POTer's) to be about the debt accumulated during his presidency. It was typically done in such a way as to use the raw numbers to imply Obama was a profligate and reckless spender of tax payer money. What those accusations lacked was context. The context being Obama inherited an economy in free fall. Losing 600K jobs a month, credit markets nearly frozen, a housing market that had crashed, and the impact of the Great Bush Recession being felt around the world. Essentially, he was blamed for a calamity not of his making. Then he was blamed for a stubbornly sluggish recovery to due systemically slow growth (that still persists), the depth of the recession, the enduring effect on the rest of the world, and the Repub's sabotage.
Fast forward to Capt. Clorox's presidency. Before doing so let's stipulate we won't focus on the Grifter-in-Chief's budget busting tax cut that had the country headed for a $1T+ deficit before COVID landed on our shores.
Let's also stipulate we won't discuss President Sunshine's culpability for the severity of COVID's spread in the US and the damage done to the economy as a result.
Instead, let's just focus on this. "The federal budget deficit is projected to be $3.7 trillion."
CBO’s Current Projections of Output, Employment, and Interest Rates and a Preliminary Look at Federal Deficits for 2020 and 2021
CBO discusses its preliminary projections of key economic variables and its preliminary assessments of federal budget deficits and debt through 2021. The amounts include the effects of legislation enacted in response to the pandemic.www.cbo.gov
So......I'm just wondering out loud how Trumpleheads would react if Dems used the $3.7T number, without context as GOPer's did, to make accusations like, "the King of Debt is responsible for smashing the record for the largest budget deficit in a single year by over $2T?"
Doesn't seem fair to you does it? Remember that the next time you make accusations about Obama's deficits.
liberals welcomed the paid vacation and do not want to return to work
Meaning, you suffer from Trump Denial Syndrome.I’m not here to persuade knee-jerk trump haters that you are what you are
I merely comment that you are
Not at all. That’s the point. Right now democrats aren’t kicking and screaming about the debt or trump spending but when we said Obama was doing a good job and we pointed to low unemployment and the stock market you republicans gave these arguments as to why Obama wasn’t doing a good job.None of you team player assholes give a hoot in hell about spending or the debt....You just make yourselves look like even bigger boobs than you already are (if that's possible) with the finger pointing.
1. The debt.
2. His yearly growth number. In 2019 trump had only 2.3% growth yet you rave about his economy
3. The monthly job numbers. Trumps numbers are about the same.
And obama didn’t have to give that huge tax break away. Trumps signature accomplishment didn’t work and increased the debt. He said it would pay for itself. You knew that was a lie

Of course, that didn't take into account the mild corrections that were already happening when Bush took over.
Nevertheless......don't you think we'd love to ONLY be 3 trillion in debt right now ?
And yes....those tax cuts really did do some major damage.
I'm glad you were able to get that babbling, obtuse, word salad off your chest. You've reacted to the OP just as I thought Trumpleheads would. Defensively, ineffectually, hypocritically, confounded by the facts with no way to meaningfully refute them. Sad.Meaning, you suffer from Trump Denial Syndrome.I’m not here to persuade knee-jerk trump haters that you are what you are
I merely comment that you are
Normally, I scroll right past your bullshit.
But, this is a clear example of how you work.
You set the standard that you argue against. And you set it specifically for Trump. That way you don't have to apply it universally.
Also, you (a self-righteous, ignorant, arrogant left-winger) decide how everyone should feel about violations to the standard that you set.
You are why the left is in such a shitty place.
Keep up the good work.
That growth was why democrats created the hysteria in the first place. They paid China to create it in 2015 and used it in 2020.And all his uge tax breaks got us in 2019 was 2.3% growth.

I would hope they were higher in 2019. Would they be higher without the tax cuts?
Yea well Bush the Lesser blew that away as fast as he could. Why are we talking about 20 years ago??Que?Our projections were that on the current course, we would have reduced the debt to zero in three years.
Projections for what years?
The years following Clinton's term.
Under Clinton, we saw a surplus which lowered the debt. I don't have the figures in front of me, but I seem to recall we were about projected surplusses of nearly 1/2 trillion.
Now, the dot.com bubble burst and it could be argued those surpluses would go away, but the fact is that Bush took a very goo situation and destroyed it with his wars.
NOW?We need a plan to eliminate the deficit and start bringing down our debt.
