Original Note:
This figure is based on comparing the fiscal year 2020 deficit of $3.1 trillion with the fiscal year 2022 deficit of $1.4 trillion. It is misleading to use it as a baseline for measuring deficit reduction as 2020 was an anomaly due to covid. https://www.cnn.com/2023/02/07/politics/fact-check-president-biden-state-of-the-union/index.html https://www.foxnews.com/politics/bidens-deficit-reduction-brag-masks-colossal-wave-new-spending
