Can someone explain to me why this is actually a problem?

As someone who is very concerned about Trump and his impact on Democracy. This seems pretty inconsequential.

During the Clinton admin, the United States ran a fiscal surplus from 1998-2001.

Then the $1.2T Debt increased by:

72% Bush $4.2T

64% Obama $7.6T

33% Trump $6.7T 4/yrs

17% under Biden $4.7T 4/yrs

The IRA allocated an historic $370 billion in clean energy tax credits.

Republicans to Dems: Hold my beer.

The GOP's first priority is a $4.6 trillion tax cut -- with 40% of individual tax cuts going to the top 5% of income earners.

Any questions?
