I'm sorry did the $2.2 trillion CARES act not pass under President Trump? Was President Trump not pushing for higher stimulus payments back in December? Were we not running a $3.1T deficit in the year 2020 when Trump was still in office?

Uh you do realize the majority of that was covid spending right? Unless you want to blame Obama for that too.

By the way, the deficit was shrinking year-over-year from 2011-2015. It has been steadily increasing year over year since 2016.

Yeah and then he broke the trend it by approving the 2016 budget which increased it again, not to mention in the first 4 years of the massive stimulus spending under his watch a falling yearly budget deficit later on wasn't exactly a heavy lift.

My bathroom cost us 16 K back in 2009. Allure did it. We bit the bullet as well and did it. But we did not add a bathroom we gutted and existing bathroom. If you want it done right and to code your are going to pay. If you want El cheapo home depot bathroom done by a shady contractor go for it!

Allure is the most expansive by far!!

Many can and do build to code. Just have to know the right people.
