Trump for president

[Maggot]

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.

Please quote your source.

The Congressional Budget Office is predicting that the national debt will rise by a bit more than half a trillion dollars for the next two years, which will leave the nation with a $19.1 trillion debt by the time President Barack Obama leaves office.

That would be close to a doubling of the debt under Obama — the total national debt was $10.6 trillion when he took office in 2009, and now sits at nearly $18.1 trillion.

You are right deficit and debt are 2 different things. The debt has risen tremendously but the deficit has declined based on Obamas first year in office. I would not call it a plus though as in the future the next president will inherit Obamas handywork .

+1 for BH and HOTD in defining deficit and debt somewhat.
