Clinton had us debt-free by 2010. Bush blew it. Obama fixed it. Trump crashed it. Biden fixed it. Trump crashed it again — 92,000 jobs gone last month. Want a good economy? Elect Democrats.

Under Bill Clinton, the United States was on track to eliminate the national debt by 2010. The federal government was running budget surpluses, the economy was booming, and fiscal discipline was actually working.

Then came George W. Bush.
Massive tax cuts for the wealthy, two long wars, and exploding deficits blew that surplus apart, sending the national debt soaring again.
Next, Barack Obama inherited the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. Through stimulus, financial reforms, and steady economic policy, his administration helped rebuild the economy, creating millions of jobs and stabilizing growth.
Then came Donald Trump.
His administration added trillions to the national debt, pushed large tax cuts without offsets, and left the economy in turmoil — especially during the pandemic.
After that, Joe Biden took office and oversaw a major recovery: job growth surged, unemployment dropped, infrastructure investments passed, and manufacturing began returning to the U.S.
Now Trump is back — and the economy is already taking hits, with 92,000 jobs reportedly lost last month, raising fresh concerns about economic stability.
📉 The pattern many voters see:
Democrats inherit crises and rebuild the economy
Republicans inherit recovery and run up deficits
