What else would this douchebag do, really? He had 4 years and the only thing he “accomplished” was tax breaks for the elite.

Of course this tiny petty man will use the power of the office to exact revenge. He’s not going to do anything for Americans.

I was looking into this. Obama added roughly 8 trillion dollars to the national debt. Trump added the same amount in half as much time.

While both of these statements are true, Obama did it to get the US out of the recession hole where the previous 8 years of unsecured mortgages and crazy walls street bets from investment banks created endemic risk and failure propagation.
Very different outcomes of the same moneys, specially considering we made money on selling some of the bailed out car companies.

Yep and Trump, in contrast, managed to give hundreds of billions of dollars directly to criminals and scammers. He made scams great again.

What’s old is new again.

This time with more maga.

Congress just approved a bill to dismantle parts of the Dodd-Frank banking rule

The House voted to pass a bill that rolls back strict financial regulation put in place after the recession and intended to prevent another economic meltdown.

it’s important to understand each of their reasoning:

Obama added to the national debt in order to jumpstart a stalled economy that was deep, DEEEEEEP in the shitter after Bush just noped’out after letting the housing market explode and adding two wars to the bill. Paying all that shit off, PLUS, what was planned to be damned-near-universal-healthcare but became JUST a huge expansion to most people’s health benefits (the ACA).

Those are things Obama’s admin paid for and we saw actual, tangible returns on. The economy roared back to life. Medical costs and insurance costs went down.

What benefits did we see from Trump’s deficit ballooning tax cuts? hmm lemme look here… ah, the report says JACK SHIT.

Unless you’re a billionaire.

So yeah, they both added to the national debt but at least most americans received a functioning economy and a chance for healthcare from Obama. Genuinely, Thanks Obama!
