The deficit during the Obama years was the result of trying to recover from the disastrous Bush depression. The revenue wasn't there and the deficits were building expecting when the economy showed real improvement the revenue increase would pay down the debt. Rather, the enonomy has improved, emplyment is up, and the deficit is increasing.

The truth is you and your fellow deplorables now will try and reduce benfits for the poor to reduce the deficit. As to higher interest rates, like Phil's grandparents, I love it. Between higher interest rates and lower tazes, I might even consider becoming a deplorable. Screw the deficit...live for today.
