On September 8, 2017, Trump signed a bill increasing the debt ceiling. Later that day, the debt exceeded $20 trillion for the first time in U.S. history. On February 9, 2018, Trump signed a bill suspending the debt ceiling until March 1, 2019. It leapt to $22 trillion. In July 2019, Trump suspended the debt ceiling until after the 2020 presidential election. The debt soon rose to $23 trillion. Trump has overseen the fastest increase in the debt of any president.
Trump's Fiscal Year 2021 budget projects the debt would increase $4.8 trillion during his first term.
That's as much as Obama added while fighting a recession. Trump has not fulfilled his campaign promise to cut the debt. Instead, he's done the opposite. |

President Trump told GOP senators Tuesday he wants to dramatically reduce the payroll tax through at least the end of the year
Now he is buying votes ... clearly he is 100% interested in himself

he’s proposing cuts to payroll taxes. democrats lived that idea when obama pitched it, today democrats say it only helps corporations. But employees pay half that tax, so at worst, it helps people
and corporations equally. the self employed pay the entire payroll tax, so for someone like Nebe, he sees the entire benefit.
God forbid you people tell the truth once in awhile.
