Original Note:
“Experts say the deficit fell in 2021 and 2022 primarily because of expiring pandemic spending, not Biden’s own policies, which had the net effect of worsening the deficit.” “Year-on-year the debt has never decreased since 1957, according to Treasury data.” https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2023/03/16/politics/fact-check-biden-deficit-minimum-tax/index.html https://www.newsweek.com/fact-check-did-joe-biden-bring-down-national-debt-trillion-1799499 https://fiscaldata.treasury.gov/datasets/historical-debt-outstanding/historical-debt-outstanding https://www.statista.com/statistics/273294/public-debt-of-the-united-states-by-month/
