Trump's budget seems a bit of a joke. Everyone, except apparently Trump's people, have noticed that the math is out by ~$2 trillion. The "fiscal conservatives" () are going to blow a massive hole in the deficit and put the country into much more debt, like they did under Reagan, Bush I and Bush II...

The party of stupid can't do basic math and they keep plunging the country into massive debt because they insist on starting expensive wars without checking if they can afford it and keep cutting taxes for the ultra-wealthy far more than the budget can handle, while sanctimoniously and hypocritically talking about debt ceiling and fiscal responsibility. They're just moronic losers."I hate him passionately", he's "a demonic force" - Tucker Carlson, in private, on Donald Trump
"Every line of serious work that I have written since 1936 has been written, directly or indirectly, against totalitarianism and for democratic socialism" - George Orwell
"[Capitalism] as it exists today is, in my opinion, the real source of evils. I am convinced there is only one way to eliminate these grave evils, namely through the establishment of a socialist economy" - Albert Einstein

Clinton was president during economic boom times so of course the percentage is going to look lower, even if spending went up and likewise Bush started off during an economic downturn so of course the percentage will go up. As always, it's about how you frame the facts you are given.
You mean like that old adage, "figures lie and liars figure"?The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.
