Original Note:
While that number is factually correct, it’s lacking some context. Most of the drop is because of the recovery from COVID, and the government spending during that time coming to an end. There’s no indication that any policies have specifically targeted the deficit. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/biden-administration-forecasts-1-03-trillion-deficit-down-by-nearly-400-billion https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2022/jul/28/janet-yellen/white-houses-big-deficit-cut-and-why-it-merits-ast/
