Original Note:
The claim of Biden's role in the $1.7T reduction has been repeatedly debunked. https://www.cnn.com/2023/02/07/politics/fact-check-president-biden-state-of-the-union/index.html, https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/04/28/bidens-misleading-deficit-claim-earns-him-bottomless-pinocchio/ The national debt has risen $3.7T during Biden’s presidency so far ($7.8T during Trump). https://fiscaldata.treasury.gov/datasets/debt-to-the-penny/debt-to-the-penny Biden’s budget adds $17T in deficits over the next 10 years. https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/budget_fy2024.pdf.
