Resistance within the Trump administration

How much did the total deficit rise by each President since Reagan

Again using data from the St. Louis Federal Reserve, these are starting and ending federal debt numbers since President Reagan. I’ve computed the total percentage increase and the compounded yearly rate.

What the numbers show is that the total debt increased the most at 184% over 8 years and at the fastest rate under President Reagan at almost 14% per year. In fact, the three Republican presidents had the fastest growing debt on a yearly basis.

Reagan
•Started Presidency: $965 billion
•Ended Presidency: $2.74 trillion
•Increased 184% or 13.9% per year

H.W. Bush
•Started Presidency: $2.74 trillion
•Ended Presidency: $4.23 trillion
•Increased 54% or 11.5% per year (only in office for four years)

Clinton
•Started Presidency: $4.23 trillion
•Ended Presidency: $5.77 trillion
•Increased 36% or 4.0% per year

W. Bush
•Started Presidency: $5.77 trillion
•Ended Presidency: $11.1 trillion
•Increased 93% or 8.5% per year

Obama
•Started Presidency: $11.1 trillion
•Ended Presidency: $19.85 trillion
•Increased 78% or 7.5% per year

President Obama’s debt actually grew at a slower annual rate than any of the Republican presidents even though there were events that negatively impacted the deficit that started before he became President. The Great Recession is probably the biggest of them as can be seen in the yearly deficit numbers. While all politicians use data to support their positions, the sound bite that the debt doubled under Obama is very misleading.

Dirtman did you noticed that when the republican gave a tax break the national deb went up a whole lot more than when the democrats raised taxes? Hopefully your not as gullible as the rest of the republicans who have been gullible enough to believe trickle down economy will help bring down the debt. The above provided information shows just the opposite is true. MAGA Moscow Agent Governing America!!!!

Maga!!!!!!

[ALLDIRT]

Well whats the problem , its headed in the right direction . CAN'T DENY .

[Clayton_Wetter]

“You knock one down, and we’ll be ready for Pence. We’ll get him, too,” Waters vowed.

The Progressive Commies are unhinged.

[ss12]

Well whats the problem , its headed in the right direction . CAN'T DENY .

So adding to the national debt is the right direction? Just shows how gullible you are.

Here is the debt clock for you so you can see how well he is doing in real time.

Not gullible . doing very well , thank you very much .

[ALLDIRT]

Here's how I see it . You speak like you know it all . I have been around awhile . I plan to keep it the way
it works for me , and my family . So if you don't like it that way . I am sure you vote your way . All I know
is for the time I have been here , I know when to hold them , and I know when to fold them .

[Bubstr]

And how much did Trumps tax cuts add to the federal debt? I know just a lousy 1 trillion dollars. That it! The debt doesn't matter because a republican is in the white house, but if there was democrat in office you Repukes would be going haywire.

Do you have the slightest idea how the Economy and the National debt work? I have given this lesson on here before. Pay attention this time. There will be a test sooner or later.

No Country is able to pay off a national debt if they have a debt based currency. They can't even pay the principle down. They are lucky to pay the interest even. If having a lot of money in circulation made the Economy good, we would have the best Economy ever, right here in the USA. We don't because, it's not about how much $ is in the system, it's about how much moves or is spent. This is the reasoning behind spuring the Economy, with tax cuts. When you put dollars in the hands of people that can't really save it, it is spent. This creates new jobs and big business gets the trickle up effect. The trickle down doesn't work. Now don't listen to any news station, but go out and look at the local strip malls. Are more shops open or closed in the last month? I am confident you will find more open if you tell yourself the truth. This alone makes a larger tax base. This term tax base means help for you and me to pay that big tax bill. That frees up more spendable dollars in long term. More money moves.

Any politician that is saying something about paying on the National Debt, is lying. You would have to make more dollars along with more interest , which would make the debt larger, not smaller. The only way you could pay this off, is to get rid of the FED. It doesn't look like any of DC was interested in that, as the contract with the FED was up in 2013. The IRS is the FED's tax collector and it only collects interest on the debt. We still owe for WW1. I was figuring back in 2005, that every person, man women or child owed around $40,000 a person. It has to be way more than that now. I really hope this helps some to understand. It isn't the easiest thing to grasp, especially after DC covers it with flowers, Farrie dust and Unicorn farts.

What is the difference? You would never be able to pay off the National debt. We are still paying interest on the great depression hand outs and WW2 lend lease, even though we forgave the UN debt on that.

[Bubstr]

ss12, You must have fell asleep,in math class. Do you know how compound interest works? Money is added to the national debt from interest from 1913. Keep listening to them smart guys, you have been listening to.

The National debt means nothing, because it can't be paid off, only to get larger.

Only one President has put the national debt in the black. It was Andrew Jackson. Look up how he did it and you will have more understanding about this problem. Especially the retaliation to our country for it.

I’ll take the words of an educated man who can recite FACTS off the top of his head rather someone who can “cut and paste “ some propaganda !

So when we close the boarder . Stop all the illegals from coming in , stop the free food stamps , free social security , ( by the way its for the ones who paid for it ) , and the free medicare . Billions saved by not giving to the united nations , yea it will go down .This is the magic wand obummer was afraid of . And now somehow thats obummers magic wand . Hang on bud , hes working on it , with just 2 years in . Way better that the doubling of the debt in the last 8 . More saving to come . Hold on . More jobs that was not coming back ,means more people paying taxes . More people spending than before , means more . cant you count .
