according to Maya Macguineas, of the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget.
"...Trump has signed into law over $4 trillion dollars of NEW debt since he's been in office and when we run into a deficit, we will pay the priced in terms of our economic strength, as we are going to be in much worse shape and much less able to fight our way out of that recession because our debt levels will be so high.
60% of deficit due to recent legislation
Deficit reaches highest level in 7 years "
Trump just being Trump I guess. To his followers, You knew what he was when you voted for him. He has no problem spending other people's money.

(3,335 posts)a bunch of IOUs left in their place. Much of it went to his Tax Cut which the wealthy benefited from the most. Then there's all those weekend trips to Mir-a-lago with all that Secret Service detail to secure all those grounds. Then those agents probably have to eat those expensive meals at Trump's restaurants there, and those agents are probably required to sleep in those expensive hotel rooms there, since who's going to check him? Lyndsay Graham?
