https://amarkfoundation.org/reports/u-s-presidents-and-the-f..., though you could just google the topic and click exactly any link, clearly shows that Republican admins grow the deficit, Democratic admins shrink it.
These are just straight up numbers increasing or decreasing. It’s not complicated shit. Quit equivocating.

And this might mean something if the President created the budget.
