Party of fiscal responsibility in action. It's scary that we're driving debt at a time where we should be paying it off anticipating future down turns of the economy.

Republicans only care about the debt or deficits when they're out of power. Actually, there's already been some mumbling about Democratic spending in the new House - wasting money on stuff like social safety nets.

You say that like it's an accident. The INTENT is to limit Dem options when things inevitably go sour - Reagan, Shrub, POSPOTUS.

What's his current record?
Trump: “We had the safest border in the history of our country - or at least recorded history. I guess maybe a thousand years ago it was even better.”

It's up in the banner - $5.3T.

There will be endless arguments over how much to credit CV-19. IMO PINO's weak actions led to a lot of the need for federal economic support.
