Reagan tripled U.S. debt in 8 years. tRump's conservativism is burning cash 10x faster

During Reagan's presidency, the federal debt held by the public nearly tripled in nominal terms, from $738 billion to $2.1 trillion.[82] This led to the U.S. moving from the world's largest international creditor to the world's largest debtor nation. - Wikipedia


I less than four years the GOP's fiscal conservatives have added $6,513,529,681,818.10 ($6.5T) to our national debt, 478% of the $1.362T fellow fiscal conservative Reagan added to the national's deferred tax pile of red ink.

You think you have it rough with your current tax bill? Just wait 10 or 20 years when your children have to pay off the mountain of debt failed conservatism has left them burdened with.

Get the picture?
