Recent Democratic Presidents are More Fiscally Responsible
A recent tweet outlining this fact ended up in a politifact fact check story. Because some of the numbers in the original tweet were slightly off (though not off enough to change the conclusion), Politifact rated it as Mostly True. Here is the tweet, with corrected numbers based on the Politifact analysis and the link to the full Politifact story.


"Reagan took the deficit from $79 billion to $153 billion. Bush 41 took it to $255 billion. Clinton got it to zero. Bush 43 took it from zero to $1.4 trillion. Obama halved it to $584 billion. Trump’s got it back to a trillion."
