Phil1111 1,159 #1 Posted July 27, 2020 Everyone in SC has heard of the trump Death Clock. Which now stands at over 87,000 American men, women and children. What has not been addressed by conservatives is the amount of debt that trump would have added to the national account. Which would have had no real benefit to all Americans. Currently it stands at $13 trillion over the four years that trump has been in control. As everyone knows trump promised to eliminate the national debt in his first eight years in office. That GDP would grow at 4,5 and even 6% per year under his administration.In fact despite that $13 trillion in additional debt and stimulus. US growth under trump has only been .3% better than Obama's. Thats three tenths of one percent better. The children of Americans will have to pay this off. Hard decisions will have to be made. Cuts to the benefits and programs of veterans.To Social Security, defense, education, etc. So the relevant question is how much of this $13 trillion is directly due to trump's largess to his friends, himself and to big business. If the 62% ratio of the death clock were applied to the 2020 $3.7T deficit the amount would be $2.29 trillion dollars. If that same ratio of incompetence was applied to the $13 trillion amount it would be just over $8 trillion of debt that trump would have been responsible for. Given that GDP growth above Obama's was only three tenths of a percent.That the US deficit to GDP this year is 17.9% (CBO figures). Do you feel 17.6% better off now than you were under the Obama administration? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
