  1. Trump and the GOP *ruined our economy*. For their bigotry and endless desire for power and cruelty, conservatives and fascists harmed the United States willingly and *eagerly*.

    We’re winning! Trump has made it so our debt is so high it is the highest in the world. It’s now so high, it’s higher than the highest GDP in the world. Job well done, Trump!

    Anytime a Republican claims they are fiscally conservative, they should be told to STFU and get out of government.

  4. Oh yes, the conservative economic policies of the GOP saving the country from the evils of debt, once again.

    But ask a Trumper and they’ll tell you America’s never been better. Clowns.

    Absolutely our fault for electing Republicans whose consistent track record is spending beyond our means to fund tax cuts and military buildup instead of repairing bridges or keeping our people healthy. FGOP

    Ask a republican and they’ll say it’s all because poor minorities don’t want to work.

    The Clinton administration ended 1999 with a $0 deficit and 2000 with a surplus. Under their last budget, the US was on track to be **debt-free** by 2012.

    Then the incoming admin decided it’s time to tor tax cuts and massive increase in defense spending. Of course, there was an economic crisis in ‘07 but that’s when you’re supposed to run a deficit, and save in boom years.

    Shit economy. Then a democrat will spend their term fixing it & get blamed for it. Then a republican will come in to the fixed economy, take credit for it & tank it again. Rinse and repeat

  10. Not only has debt topped 100% of GDP, the credit card used to cover that debt (the Petro dollar) is being undermined by an unnecessary and wasteful war of choice.

  11. Trump loves large percentages – the debts is now **3789%** higher than during the Reagan years (his “mentor”).

    Not a joke, actually.

  12. I seem to remember something about the whole Tea Party protests by Republicans who believed that Obama was going to tank the economy because of how much debt the liberals were accruing, and yet people will continue to believe that Republicans are better for the economy. Which just shows how much better Republicans and their right wing media is at pushing propaganda that gullible Americans believe. Which is made even easier because that fits with what they want to believe.

    And what do we have to show for it? Did we spend other people’s money to build roads, hospitals, energy grids, school lunches, healthcare? Nope, war and tax cuts for rich people. Our hubris is astounding.

    Trump alone increased the debt by 45% and will likely add another 40% or more.   Note that Reagan increased the debt 186% while in office and Bush increased the debt by 101% in office.

    Debt tops 100% of GDP and taxpayers must now pay for the dear leader’s $400 million ballroom made with foreign steel and granite.

  16. Spending tens and tens of billions on trump’s war that no one voted for (including congress) surely doesn’t help

  17. 77 million Americans don’t have a high enough IQ to be able to imagine what would happen if you give control of an entire country to someone who bankrupted 4 casinos

    Republicans only care about the deficit and debt when a Democrat is in the White House. Giving Republicans control off the White House, Senate and House has been a financial disaster for the US.
