More from the analysis...

... Why it matters: The winner of November's election faces a gloomy fiscal outlook, with rapidly rising debt levels at a time when interest rates are already high and demographic pressure on retirement programs is rising.

- - - Both candidates bear a share of the responsibility, as each added trillions to that tally while in office.

- - - But Trump's contribution was significantly higher, according to the fiscal watchdogs at the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, thanks to both tax cuts and spending deals struck in his four years in the White House.

By the numbers: Trump added $8.4 trillion in borrowing over a ten-year window, CRFB finds in a report out this morning.

- - - Biden's figure clocks in at $4.3 trillion with seven months remaining in his term.

- - - If you exclude COVID relief spending from the tally, the numbers are $4.8 trillion for Trump and $2.2 trillion for Biden. ...

@#3 ... Trickle Down Economics, yeah, that's the ticket! ...

Well, it doesn't look quote like the "trickle down economics" of olde nowadays.

it looks more like, ~let's make corporations and their owners more wealthy, and maybe, just maybe (but unlikely) they might spend money that may benefit the low-wage (and in some instances undocumented workers) we use in our companies.

In other words, a continuance of the transfer of the nation's wealth to the 0.1%.

@#6 ... You forgot to factor in Faucis lockdowns that cost the country 7 trillion dollars. ...

So, your current alias seems to be placing a price (albeit, an invalid price) upon the saving of human lives.

Let me ask a very specific question: what does your current alias think is an appropriate price to save a human life?

Yer up.

@#9 ... those are real numbers,...

Got links?

@#9 ... they use 10 year projections rather than simply looking at the change in the national debt under each president. ...

Or, is the analysis looking at the total cost (over a 10-year period) of what each President has done?

In other words, why does, as your current alias seems to assert, the fiscal policies of a President stop when the President leaves office?

We are still suffering from fmr Pres trump's tax give-a-way to the 0.1% and corporations.

Yeah, maybe that 10-year projection is looking to be quite more accurate.

@#13 ... For example, a vast, vast majority of re-shoring of jobs under Biden were due to Trump's trade policies against China ...

Got a link for that?

From what I remember, fmr Pres Trump's trade policies resulted in companies moving to other countries.

For example...

@#15 ... We literally had this debate a month ago and I provided all the links then. ...

So, then you should be able to provide links now.

And, who is the "we" your current alias refers to?

@#17 ... You already got your ass kicked on this subject once ...

So, your current alias admits it has nothing to substantiate its assertions.

Not a surprise.
