Every time they’re in power, disaster happens.

Reagan and Bush: first deficit ever, 1987 market crash, and 2000 recession.

Bush: receives a surplus from Clinton, proceeds to turn it into an economic collapse in 2008, and a 1.3 trillion deficits in 2009 and 10, etc.

Trump: coms in with a good economy and a deficit shrunk two thirds down from the 1.3 trillion deficits as a result of Bush’s collapsed economy, and proceeds to make it up there again, for no reason other than stupidity and incompetence. Tne economy comes next.......
