Original Note:

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/
