The US Debt Problem
Partisan liars don't care about facts. They will churn out more lies "Gish gallop" and shovel out more biased questions that if you answer honestly it makes them look ignorant and foolish. ✅ Bill Clinton (1990s): Under Clinton, the federal government ran a budget surplus for several years. His administration focused on deficit reduction, partly through the 1993 Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act, which included spending restraint and tax increases. Barack Obama (early 2010s): During the push to recover from the Great Recession, Obama supported stimulus spending, but later backed spending cuts in negotiations with Republicans—like the 2011 Budget Control Act, which imposed caps on discretionary spending (a.k.a. the "sequester"). Joe Biden (recent years): While the Biden administration has passed major spending bills (like the Inflation Reduction Act), it has also claimed deficit reduction—for example, in 2022, the White House pointed to a $1.4 trillion drop in the federal deficit from the previous year, largely as COVID-era emergency spending tapered off. Individual moderate or fiscally conservative Democrats (like Sen. Joe Manchin or former Rep. Stephanie Murphy) have also pushed back on large spending proposals, advocating for smaller packages or more targeted spending. So, while Democrats often prioritize different areas of spending than Republicans, there are moments where they’ve advocated cutting or restraining spending—especially when deficits or debt become politically salient. -
