Since my source was from 2016 it used Trumps early tax proposals, and the passed Trump tax cuts are different from early proposals. But still Trump policies raise our deficits, national debt, and debt interest payments much more than Hillary's policies.
wrong
1. hitlery like most of the fascist liberals sits there and says tax the rich...then turns around and calls 200k rich (its middleclass)…… in the 50' when we taxed the rich at around 90%..the top bracket was for those making over 300k (about 3.5 million in todays dollar)...yet todays liberals want to call the middleclass or workingclass rich...
2. the interest on the debt is based on the FED... and hitlery could not have lowered the interest..she may have lowered the payment, thus increasing the debt even further
3. hitlery's policies would have us at 40 trillion debt in less than 8 years.. with a gdp of less than 15 trillion... hitlery would have been the biggest mistake of America...after obozo
And if you would prefer surplus information from a republican source, here's GW Bush standing before congress in 2001 saying "We have a large federal surplus." (time 0:14 - 0:20)
sorry, but the PROJECTED surpluses of clinton/newt never happened...the debt never got paid, and the debt infact INCREASED
The national debt did not reverse on those years because of things like interest payments on the debt. For example, in 2008 the interest charge on the debt was $253 billion dollars.

Could you please provide a source for the above statement.
In the long term the increased economic activity, and Growing economy will provide higher tax REVENUE even with lower tax RATES. Grow the pie, just don't redistribute the pieces. Obama increased the DEBT more than any other President COMBINED. But that's ok?
Its sad people complain about deficits, and insist on voting for GOP, but when GOP is in power, they increase the deficits like never before, and all the supporters can do is try to try to blame someone else. How will the problem ever get fixed with that mindset?
The other $7 trillion dollars added to our debt during Obama's time in office was caused by the Bush administrations Iraq/Afghanistan wars, GW Bush's tax cuts that took place when Obama first entered office, increased spending by GW Bush (Bush increased spending by 48.6%), and federal subsidies started by GW Bush, ex.ex.
Those aren't from the budget, they are from the actual, final, official numbers. You're basically making up your own accounting.
they are from actual accounting, the final tally once all the pennies are counted
a budget is a projection.. an estimate
you know you estimated take home is 60k
you budget a 55k worth of spending/bills
you budget a surplus of 5k
then you end up spending 65k due to emergencies, etc
your 5k surplus just turned into a 5 k deficit
that is accounting 101
if Clinton/Newt actually has a surplus, then the debt would have gone down..the interest of the debt IS IN the budget
are you saying a budget WRITTEN IN ADVANCE is the gospel, and NOTHING is EVER spent/saved outside of that written estimate.... if so you need to go back to school
