Original Note:
The deficit fell from $3.13T (in 2020) to $1.38T (2022) due to the pre-planned expiration of temporary COVID funding. This $1.7T drop would have been even larger if not for Biden's additional spending, which caused the 2022 deficit to be the 4th largest in history. https://fiscaldata.treasury.gov/americas-finance-guide/national-deficit/#us-deficit-by-year https://www.factcheck.org/2022/04/bidens-deficit-spin/ https://www.cnn.com/2023/02/07/politics/fact-check-president-biden-state-of-the-union/index.html https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/07/us/politics/biden-state-of-the-union-fact-check.html https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/02/07/fact-checking-president-bidens-2023-state-union-address/
