Every serious economist warned us, saying you do not do major tax cuts in a good economy. You get your financial house in order.
Reagan/Bush exploded the deficit, Clinton balanced, W. Bush exploded it, Obama cut it in half by the time he left office.
Donald Trump is the only idiot to double the deficit in a good economy. He shot all the arrows in the quiver that should have been available now with the coronavirus pandemic.
We were all warned that he would bankrupt the country, just as he did with all his businesses. On top of that, he disbanded the pandemic rapid response team and threw away the threat manuals, while playing politics and letting the pandemic explode.
Was it really worth selling your soul, your religion, your grandchildren's future and becoming a conspiracy theorist for the predicted sugar high that Deficit Don put on the credit card instead of a sustainable real economy?
