Trump for president

[HairOfTheDog]

President Obama has reduced the National deficit.

Actually, blueberry is right.

For the fiscal year ending Sept. 30, 2015 the shortfall was $439 billion.

That equates to a decrease of 9%, or $44 billion, over fiscal year 2014 and makes it the lowest deficit since 2007 (in both dollar terms and as a percentage of gross domestic product).

There's a lot of false rhetoric to the contrary, and the deficit is still too high, but the deficit is now indeed lower than it was before Obama took office.
