The budget deficit tops $1 trillion

Anyone notice interesting points?

Remember who was in the White House in 1999 and 2000?

And who took over in 2017?

But, hey, they are the party of the "fiscally responsible"

'99 - Clinton with Al Gore as vice
Then George Bush Jr. took economy to new record lows.
Obama began reigning it in gradually, slowly making progress, then, oops Trump steps in and kicks the economy in the heels.
