Original Note:
The user confuses “deficit” for “debt”. The Biden admin has claimed his budget would decrease the deficit by $3 trillion over 10 years. However the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has recently projected the U.S. national debt will top $56 trillion by 2034. https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2024/03/11/fact-sheet-the-presidents-budget-cuts-the-deficit-by-3-trillion-over-10-years/ https://www.nytimes.com/2024/06/18/us/politics/us-debt-economy.html#:~:text=Congressional%20Budget%20Office%20projections%20released,tax%20and%20debt%20limit%20fights. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congressional_Budget_Office
