Bloomberg reported that Americans have taken to skimping on toilet paper and tooth paste. You go on and live in your fake world you elitist little snob. I am sure you are way too rich too care. You must like to go to the best parties to care about real people who work and budget their money.

@MarthannBann888 Please show how Trump would have made the situation better if he had stolen another election. Since Trump drove up the national debt more than any other president in four years, raised the unemployment rate, and was the only post-WWII president to lose jobs, I would like to see how you would spin that as a success.

Are you sure you aren't skimping on toilet paper and tooth paste due to poor personal hygiene?

@MarthannBann888 You were wrong on everything you just said. And not just wrong, but spectacularly wrong.

Let's start with the tax cuts and their impact on the US economy. You said it improved the budget. So let's go back in time to the last two federal budget deficits under Obama, for FY16 and FY17:

fiscaldata.treasury.gov/americas-finance-guide/national-deficit/

FY16 $0.59 trillion
FY17 $0.67 trillion Obama's last budget starting October 1, 2016

These budgets were significantly less than the $1.42 trillion in 2009, the first year of the Bush/Republican Great Recession. Great job, Obama!

Now lets see what happened when Trump had the reigns and a huge tax cut for billionaires:

FY18 $0.78 trillion Trump's first budget deficit
FY19 $0.98 trillion
FY20 $3.13 trillion
FY21 $2.77 trillion Trump's last budget deficit

Well, what do you know? Not only did you lie about the tax cuts not impacting the US budget deficit, it went up by over 16% in FY18 and another 25+% in FY19. For the factually-challenged such as yourself, that is BEFORE COVID. So Trump's first two failed years resulted in an increase in the budget deficit increase of over 66% in just two years! Of course, during covid, Trump blew the previous record deficits out of the stratosphere as he closed out his failed presidency. But not to worry, with a Democrat coming in to fix things, help was right around the corner:

FY22 $1.38 trillion Biden's first year
FY23 $1.39 trillion

Not only were the fictitious "gains" not wiped out in Biden's first six months, the federal budget deficit decreased by 50%. Way to go, Biden!

The Keystone Pipeline was commissioned in 2010, when Obama was President, and continues to operate to this day. Trump had nothing to do with it. Perhaps you are thinking about the Keystone XL pipeline, which was a planned short cut. It has never been built, so that wasn't a Trump success either.

Trump did impose tariffs on foreign goods, particularly from China. And guess who pays the tariffs? Americans! Paying more for goods and services by starting foolish trade wars does not help average people. They pay MORE, not less!

My apologies for showing you to be a lying fool again, but it always happens when facts are involved.
