Deficit to GDP ratio is less than 1/2 what it was under Obama. Did you complain when Obama was running things?
Not sure what orifice you pulled your above fake stats from. Facts are your friend as they will guide you to a better life.
Quote:
In FY 2018 the federal deficit was 3.9 percent of GDP.
This year, FY 2019, the federal government in its latest budget has estimated that the deficit will be 4.7 percent of GDP.

After the Crash of 2008 the federal deficits started decreasing, getting to 4 percent of GDP in FY 2013 and 2.4 percent of GDP in FY 2015, but increasing to 3.2 percent of GDP in FY 2016.

Having a surplus in the budget as well as spending to improve infrastructure and schools.
OK, so you think taxing a lot and spending a lot by government makes for fiscal solvency, infrastructure improvements and superior public services...that about sum it up?
