Original Note:
Biden is conflating "debt" and "deficit". The White House stated the Republican plan would add $3 trillion to the debt, over 10 years, which is a cut to the deficit. By comparison, the one year deficit for Biden's first full year in office was $3 trillion. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/biden-national-debt-republican-plans-white-house/ https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2023/02/15/fact-sheet-the-congressional-republican-agenda-to-increase-the-debt-by-over-3-trillion/#:~:text=The%20fiscal%20consequences%20of%20the,by%20almost%2010%20percentage%20points. https://waysandmeans.house.gov/j-smith-fact-checking-president-bidens-deficit-fib/
