When Trump came into office the deficit was 600 billion.When he left it was over 3 trillion. By far the largest deficit increase of any president.
Tony Stark, considering you have student debt that you feel you are not obligated to pay off, please shut the fuck up about deficits. Second, please have half a clue about government spending and where it comes from. Third, what party wanted a FULL shutdown of the US economy in March of 2020. “All Bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives; but the Senate may propose or concur with amendments as on other Bills.” — U.S. Constitution, Article I, section 7, clause 1 “No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law; and a regular Statement and Account of the Receipts and Expenditures of all public Money shall be published from time to time.” — U.S. Constitution, Article I, section 9, clause 7 Congress—and in particular, the House of Representatives—is invested with the “power of the purse,” the ability to tax and spend public money for the national government. Massachusetts’ Elbridge Gerry said at the Federal Constitutional Convention that the House “was more immediately the representatives of the people, and it was a maxim that the people ought to hold the purse-strings.” You lose again. Wildchild NAILS IT.
The President has to sign or veto the spending bills dumbass.You would only have an argument if Trump vetoed the spending bills and Congress overrode his veto.
