A brief review of 20th and 21st century national debt history shows that President Bill Clinton in the 1990s, with Republican help, had America on a path to eliminate our debt, but Republicans wouldn’t accept no debt and reversed course.
The Bush tax cuts and Bush wars added about a trillion dollars a year to deficit spending.
The debt grew through the Obama presidency and the Trump tax cuts kicked the deficit up another trillion dollars a year.
Simple arithmetic shows President George W. Bush and President Donald Trump account for at least $28 trillion of our debt without adding interest. We are now growing our debt well over $100 billion a year on interest alone.
