* And since the internet is super-slow today, here's the important bit, to save y'all reading through all the bollox...
qt."Debt The public debt, excluding money the government owes itself, increased to more than $26.9 trillion, as of Jan. 19. The public debt is now about 24.7% higher than it was when Biden took office.
Deficits The Congressional Budget Office estimates that so far the budget deficit for fiscal year 2024 has increased a bit compared with the same period in fiscal 2023, when the annual deficit was $1.7 trillion, according to the Department of Treasury.
Through the first three months of the current fiscal year (October to December), the deficit was $509 billion, or $87 billion more than the deficit recorded during the same period last fiscal year, the CBO reported in its Monthly Budget Review for December 2023.
Notably, the CBO said that outlays in the first quarter were up $170 billion from the same time a year ago and would have been slightly higher if not for some federal payments being made in the last month of fiscal 2023 instead of the first month of fiscal 2024. A significant contributor to the increase was interest payments on the debt, the CBO said, because interest rates are significantly higher than they were in the first three months of fiscal year 2023.
So...Teflon Donald Trumpdt contributed apparently $08.2 trillion dollars to your debt, & Genocide-Joe has contributed at least $26.9 trillion & still counting !

You're not reading the data properly Rastus. The 26.9 Trillion the government owes itself is the running total from all administrations, of which 8.2 Trillion happened during the Trump administration. You can't peg the national total for all time on Biden. In fact, the article you posted shows almost all aspects of the economy improving under Biden.
And exactly which genocide are you blaming Biden for?
I also posted in here somewhere the escalating costs of these wars ( more to come btw ), & how they're passed-on to the citizens. So the US-of-A citizens pay-for the war, with the $$$ going straight into the arms dealers...
And don't forget the Billions-of-dollars worth of supplies, weapons & ammo that Genocide-Joe left in Afghanistan for the Taliban to re-arm themselves with LOL !
As for the numbers game re-$$$, I simply thought it unfair to post against Mr.Trumpdt, without offering some facts from Genocide-Joe.
*There are a lot of numbers in that posted article that aren't good for you PowerStroker...And we had NO WARS with Mr.Trumpdt in power.

We had no wars with Trump in power because he was a lap dog to every world dictator. Sometimes a war is better than bending over and taking it from tyrants. And it's a proud American tradition to NOT bend over and take it from tyrants.
I predicted Israel would dole out a very disproportionate response that would end up killing a lot of innocent Palestinians. This would be true no matter who the US president happened to be. Not sure how this is Biden's fault? If it is a genocide, it's Netanyahu's and the Israelis who failed to understand their own history and elected such a right wing reactionary.

Wow....A lot to cover, but I'm not getting too involved with this...The big-picture is that all-will-be-well, once the dust settles in the near future, I hope...
R1. You don't ever disturb sleeping dogs, look at what happens...
R2. There's too much factual information that indicates that the tyrants are the Corporations that that place your POTUS's in power, & it's down-hill from there...Never forget the on-going antics at Bo-Gove & the sausage-festival, or the Bilderberg meetings...
R3. Very true, but because of R2., it's now becoming American tradition to blindly supply-arms & then fight against these tyrants for decades to make money from war-crimes via false-flag events. eg., 9 /11...
R4. Israel should never have illegally built housing on land that was not theirs...And the US-of-A should have steered clear of this matter, but money-talks...See R3. also...
R5. Your elections are rigged & staged entertainment events only. But this will change very soon I think.
R6. He's apparently the elected "head-of-state" it's his fault, as it's his watch...Once again, Trumpdt = No wars, Biden= How many wars now ??? Plus supplying the Taliban with weapons after making money from death & war for over 20-years...
R7. Israel should NEVER EVER have been created, & the US-of-A should NEVER EVER have allowed the Central Banking Cartel to print-your-money.
I hope you get your country back ! You're controlled by the European Aristocracy, & have been for close to 120-years now...
I really don't like posting these things, but man, once you have a successful CE-5 event, & realize that "everything" in this world we live has been a lie, you feel obliged to keep-on chipping away, knowing that the day will come soon, when you'll get to meet & greet our awesome interstellar friends & neighbours.
And since we've drifted a little off-topic, I'll close by posting this reminder...

Preface
A NEW WORLD ORDER
A new world order is not a fact; it is an aspiration
and an opportunity. We have within our grasp an
extraordinary possibility that few generations have
enjoyedto build a new international system in
accordance with our own values and ideals, as old pat-
terns and certainties crumble around us.
In the Gulf we caught a glimmer of a better future a
new world community brought together by a growing
consensus that force cannot be used to settle disputes
and that when that consensus is broken, the world will
respond. In the Gulf, we saw the United Nations play-
ing the role dreamed of by its founders, with the
world's leading nations orchestrating and sanctioning
collective action against aggression. But we remain in a
period of transition. The old has been swept away, the
new not yet fully in place. The obstacles and uncertain-
ties before us are quite real the daunting problems
confronting the hopes for reform in Eastern Europe and
the Soviet Union, trade disputes and burden-sharing
debates among the industrial democracies, and the tur-
moil and dangers in the developing world.
Yet, the Gulf crisis showed what the world community
is now capable of, and in the very act of meeting that
challenge the world community strengthened itself. I
hope history will record that the Gulf crisis was the
crucible of the new world order.
It is up to us our generation in America and the
world to bring these extraordinary possibilities to
fruition. And in doing this, American leadership is
indispensable. That is our challenge.
Our response, outlined in this Report, is shaped by
what we are as a people, for our values are the link
between our past and our future, between our domestic
life and our foreign policy, between our power and our
purpose. It is our deepest belief that all nations and
peoples seek political and economic freedom; that gov-
ernments must rest their rightful authority on the con-
sent of the governed, and must live in peace with their
neighbors. The collapse of the Communist idea has
shown that our vision of individual rights a vision
imbedded in the faith of our Founders speaks to
humanity's enduring hopes and aspirations.
It is this abiding faith in democracy that steels us to
deal with a world that, for all our hope, remains a dan-
gerous place a world of ethnic antagonisms, nation-
al rivalries, religious tensions, spreading weaponry, per-
sonal ambitions and lingering authoritarianism. For
America, there can be no retreat from the world's prob-
lems. Within the broader community of nations, we see
our own role clearly. We must not only protect our citi-
zens and our interests, but help create a new world in
which our fundamental values not only survive but
flourish. We must work with others, but we must also
be a leader.
GW Bush

The US-of-A is meant to help solve these issues, not sell-arms to these fuck-wits & keep the fire burning.
Greed & money corrupts all it would seem.
