Original Note:
Tweet is statistically accurate, yet misleading. 1) COVID spending led to huge deficits in 2020 & 2021; its end created the deficit reduction in 2022. 2) However, Biden's other spending increases made the 2022 deficit 41% larger than Trump’s largest non-COVID deficit. https://fiscaldata.treasury.gov/americas-finance-guide/national-deficit/#us-deficit-by-year https://www.cnn.com/2023/02/07/politics/fact-check-president-biden-state-of-the-union/index.html https://www.factcheck.org/2023/02/factchecking-the-state-of-the-union-4/ https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/07/us/politics/biden-state-of-the-union-fact-check.html
