Nonsense.  Support your assertion with the relevent research citations.

 Your TDS is getting stronger.  I suggest seeing a psychiatrist about it.

I hate when people won't cite actual numbers.
From:
https://www.consumeraffairs.com/finance/us-debt-by-president.html
Name            Dates     debt at end   Increase  Percentage increase
Clinton         1993-2001   $5.81 T     $1.40 T   31.64%
George W. Bush  2001-2009  $11.91 T     $6.10 T  105.08% - over 2 terms
Barack Obama    2009-2017  $20.24 T     $8.34 T   69.98% - over 2 terms
Trump 1         2017-2021  $28.43 T     $8.18 T   40.43%
Biden           2021-2025  $34.60 T     $6.17 T   21.71%
I'd like to point out that both Trump 1 and Biden had to deal with the
Covid epidemic, when 3-4 trillion dollars that were conjured out of
thin air to keep businesses afloat, employees paid, and people whose
jobs shut down with a roof over their heads and food on their plates.
That 3-4 trillion was money well spent, and spread the burden over the
entire population in the form of later inflation. Sometimes you have to
take on debt to get through hard times.
