    Obama averaged a little over $1T a year, front loaded because of the financial crisis (last couple of years were in the half trillion neighborhood)

    Trump was supposed to be greater than $1T this year pre-covid.

    CBO was projecting >$1T deficits all the way to to 2030 pre-covid.

      Don't forget to factor in all the money it took to rebuild things that Obama had decimatef.. like our military.

        @Larry this is a huge tangent, but shouldn’t we be saving money with all the strategic retreats around the world?

        I guess that’s a forward looking question

          So a trillion here, a trillion there.
          When I wake up in the morning, nothing has changed.

          Two trillion here, two trillion there.
          Same. No refund stuff, they won't let me drive an aircraft carrier, taxes went down, import tax went up, shipping costs doubled.

          Three trillion here, three trillion there.

          😐

            I was kind of laugh to myself with this discussion here.

            @Mik I respect your posts, but the President is the President in good times and in bad. If a person is going to make a comparison like @xenon did over a specific time frame (for example in this case, the first four years of Presdients time), you have to accept all that happened in that specific time frame.

            IF President Trump didn't have the pandemic
            IF President Bush didn't have the Great Recession
            IF President Obama didn't have the housing crisis
            IF IF IF

            Well,those things happened. PERIOD. There is not IF.

            This is common to both republics and democrats. The theme for both sides is "we would have been the best President/party EVER IF this didn't happen."

            But it did, and they have to accept responsibility!!

            I respect the President Truman who had the sign on his desk - "The Buck Stops Here!" I think (sadly) that both sides seem to have forgotten that.

            If something bad happens during your sides period in office, it is not their fault and should be overlooked. If something bad happens during the other sides period in ofice, they need to accept responsibility. LOL

                TG, you really have to come over here and be president. Really, you really, really do. Rainman said he'd get you around the not-born-here thing in the Constitution, and I believe him.

                      As long as I get to drive the limo, and use it once in a while on weekends, we can consider this a done deal.

                      TG for President!!!!

                          I live in the Chicago area. I'll vote twice, or more, if needed!

                          The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                                Not to worry, TG.
                                You will pretty much run the world. If you don't wanna drink, you won't have to. We'll just roll you a doobie at breakfast, you'll be ready for a Trumpian type day.

                                Was there a topic for this thread, or did I completely ruin it.

                                Sorry. My almost sincerest apologies.
