Well, these people are operating under a system that literally incentivizes them to be fiscally irresponsible.So you’ll just have to take my word for it but I had two sources in my response as well as a few statistics thrown in. I found several charts comparing the percentage changes per administration, one not accounting for inflation while another adjusted for it. I’ll read your sources later, thanks. On my phone I can’t find where it is if it wasn’t erased.I did save this:
“Of the 45 Presidents, only 14 of them have overseen a decrease in debt. Calvin Coolidge was the last President to do so, leaving office in 1929, 15 Presidencies ago.”
Almost 100 years! I knew it’s been a long time but no surprise it’s so ridiculous knowing that fact!
