Given that virtually all Americans have been indoctrinated to believe that all debt is bad, including federal debt, who is this graph for, and what are they supposed to take away from it? And I have no way of knowing what this COVID/non-COVID breakdown actually means, because it is not explained in the least.
Hand wringing about the federal debt is how they gaslight you into signing off on dismantling regulatory apparatchik and the social safety nets.
Yeah, this graph is unwittingly a reactionary bonanza.
So president Biden could have cut more checks to the USAians to the tune of something like 4~5 billion dollars and still would have approved less debt that Trump, got cha'.
Look at how much bigger Trumps bar is! Wow! He won bigly!
What's supposed to be the point of this graph? National debt is a synthetic issue.
