Trump’s most enduring legacy could be the historic rise in the national debt

Well, 3 1/2 trillion for a disease that is global, but hardly deadly on it's own, could be the culprit.... a veto'd 2 1/2 trillion for internal investigations(for investigators that already are salaried) could be to blame...

But let's dont forget 350 billion (in 1983 money) for Ronald Reagan's war on drugs... converted with inflation, that is an initial .9 trillion PER YEAR, calculate his next 5 years in office. ..... because his wife was on the cover of TIME? We end up with nearly 5 trillion in today's money, because of "Reefer Madness"

I think his legacy is going to be a massive increase in the awareness of citizens of their political process, and the end of the easy acceptance that drove 40 years of liberalism.

Stupid msm article, the whole planet is screaming for the debt to go up because that new money created is the only thing paying the interest on the old debt and keeping the global economy from collapsing into a depression, whih it should have done in the 1970's if they hadn't floated all the currencies. The debt curve has been exponential since then and there will be twice the amount raised under biden as was under trump regardless.

Trump paid lip service to limited government and reduced spending but signed just about every spending bill that came across his desk.
