Are you tired of winning yet? In two short years the trump and the republicans (the party of conservative thinking, lol) have added a staggering two trillion to our national debt. I wonder if his fellow MAGAts remember the lie about eliminating the debt within 8 years. I wish someone could explain to me what it is about right wing types that they would rather believe a lie than face reality?

I agree that he's failing in the debt department--it should be going down, not up.
But like with business, sometimes you have to spend money to make it, and we're finally making record amounts as a nation, so this might actually have a positive ROI.
I would prefer a balanced-budget amendment, though, for sure.
Of course, to speak to the logic of your questions--we are only 25% into the total of eight years, and things can get turned around rather quickly.
Unless, of course, you can see the future instead of asking us to emotionally respond to an unknowable end result, and if so, please give us the definitive answer with exact amounts, please.
