Original Note:
Tweet is incorrectly mixing deficit (spending > revenue in 1 year) and debt (cumulative) https://fiscaldata.treasury.gov/americas-finance-guide/national-debt/#the-national-debt-explained His 10-year budget is $3T less than before but still adds $17T to the national debt https://www.ntu.org/foundation/detail/whats-in-president-bidens-2024-budget-an-overview-and-analysis; https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/budget_fy2024.pdf, p. 135. The $3T Republican quote picks some ideas while ignoring those with spending cuts https://www.factcheck.org/2023/03/bidens-one-sided-attack-on-republican-budgeting/
