Original Note:

(Biden actions have increased it.) https://www.cnn.com/2023/02/07/politics/fact-check-president-biden-state-of-the-union/index.html https://fiscaldata.treasury.gov/americas-finance-guide/national-deficit/#us-deficit-by-year https://fiscaldata.treasury.gov/americas-finance-guide/national-debt/
