Our previous administration (Democratic, in case you forgot) systematically reduced our nation’s annual deficit to below a trillion dollars over an eight-year period.
Funny how it took our current Republican House, Republican Senate and Republican administration one year to balloon us back over to trillion-dollar deficits again.
Job well done, Republicans!
