"(President Ronald) Reagan took the deficit from 70 billion to 175 billion." This is more or less accurate. The federal deficit went from about $78.9 billion at the beginning of Reagan’s presidency to $152.6 billion at the end of it. At points between 1983 and 1986, the deficit was actually more than $175 billion. "(George H.W.) Bush 41 took it to 300 billion." Close, but not exactly. The number was around $255 billion at the end of Bush’s term. The deficit spiked at around $290.3 billion the year before he left office. "(Bill) Clinton got it to zero." This is true. During his presidency, Clinton managed to zero out the deficit and end his term with a $128.2 billion surplus. "(George W.) Bush 43 took it from 0 to 1.2 trillion." This is in the ballpark. Ignoring the fact that he actually started his presidency with a surplus, Bush left office in 2009 with a federal deficit of roughly $1.41 trillion. "(Barack) Obama halved it to 600 billion." This is essentially accurate. Obama left the presidency with a deficit of approximately $584.6 billion, which is more than halving $1.41 trillion. The deficit was even lower in 2015 at around $441.9 billion.

你的帖子“大多数”、“好多”这类没数据的胡说八道好多,很符合民主党用情绪感觉当大脑用的思维习惯
你把川粉引进来反驳楼主,用心良苦
你查过数据吗?debt to gdp ratio就是总国债对总GDP的比值,2019年达到了近30年最高的106%,2019还怪奥巴马?
奥巴马刚接手的时候08金融危机,情况也很糟糕,现在特朗普搞得无限QE,学的就是当初奥巴马的做法,看不出特朗普作为”成功“商人,在经济上有什么创见之举
