I think the debt will reduce because of no pandemic and war bills, although I would like to think significantly, but I have a feeling it will be just a little. My reason being, the Democrats will just fight him everyday again wanting the country to fail, so they can say, "We told you so".In 2016, about 62 million Americans believed Donald Trump was going to pay off the debt in eight years and grow the economy by 4 to 6 percent.
He ended up adding about $8 trillion and GDP growth hit 4 percent in only one quarter.
This time around, it appears about 76 million people bleev Donald Trump is going to reduce the debt.
There's this DOGE-boi who fights climate change by building electric cars. Trump supporters hate electric cars and climate change fighters. And they especially hate taxpayer dollars subsidizing climate-fighting products.
But Trump has decided to appoint this DOGE-boi to reduce our debt, to a position outside the Senate confirmation process. What the 76 million voters don't seem to know is that any spending cuts or abolishing of government agencies requires Congressional approval. So you basically have a taxpayer-funded boondoggle circle-jerk with DOGE-boi.
More good times ahead.
You don't have to predict the exact number our debt will be at when the next clown is sworn in. You can if you wish. Or you can just predict the direction. Up, down, sideways.
