If an actual republican was in office, taxes would be lower, the deficit wouldn’t be increasing, less money to Israel, and our first and second amendment rights wouldn’t be in danger. A scam artist has simply weaponized the hate of the dumbest Americans.

1. You don’t pay down a deficit. 2. Clinton didn’t actually pay down the debt, he just borrowed money from social security. The debt increased every year. https://fiscaldata.treasury.gov/datasets/historical-debt-outstanding/historical-debt-outstanding

*eliminated the deficit. ran a surplus. bad word choice. OP referred to the deficit and not the debt so i referred to the deficit and not the debt. also I don’t actually think dems have done a good job overall on this either, my point is that republicans don’t even try for all their lip service toward fiscal responsibility

Okay but he didn’t eliminate the deficit or run a surplus. The debt increased every year. I can agree with that.
