Then Clinton came in and created a surplus which baby Bush ate out really fast and continued in the footsteps of his daddy. Then Obama came in and stopped the bleeding and now Trump is adding to that debt.
Under Obama there was trickle growth with a sluggish economy. The country was in a crisis and as in every crisis, if enough money is thrown at it there lies the solution. Result, the economy is booming. There is growth with potentials of paying off the debt. For now, the interest charges are manageable.
So how come it almost doubled in two years?
Whatever it takes to make Trump's White America employable, even it tripled. In the Golden Era of America, they were innovative. They will be innovative again. In the 50's they created wealth for themselves, today they have to share it with the Americans of the zebra types.
