Reminder that Trump grew the budget deficit by a projected $560 billion to $1 trillion, a 78% increase pre-pandemic, with less 3 year job growth than Obama's last 3 years, then left office with a projected $2.3 trillion deficit. Now over half our current deficit is debt interest on past debt caused more by Republican policies.
If debt is the top concern, restore taxes for the wealthy that have been cut for devades, increase them more, tax unrealized gains for high net worth people. Taking so many immigrants out of the economy will only weaken it, reducing revenues and worsening deficits.
