The tax cuts for the very well off and the very well off caused those
defictis
and those happened in the Term of #45 a bigly foolish man called Trump.

 It started with Ronald Regan and GHWB (although even RR raised taxes
every year after his first when his advisors realized that the tax
cuts without corresponding spending reductions wasn't real smart).
 Clinton then reduced the deficit to basically zero (balancing the
budget).
 Then GWB again cut taxes without reducing spending, ballooning the deficit
and the corresponding debt load (not to mention the yuge spending on the
middle east wars he started).
 Then Obama again reduced the deficit.
 Then Trump blew it up again.     Biden attempted to remedy that,
and then the orange clown show really got started and here we are,
with an additional $4 trillion of debt.
 So, Lynn, you really need to work on your history and math skills
and stop reading the idiot websites you keep citing.

Plus the Administration's on-again-off-again tariffs, US withdrawals from international agencies, discontinuing international aid so millions will starve or die of preventable illnesses and general xenophobia over the last six months.
