US national debt grows and grows and grows, regardless of which party controls the White House and Congress.
For more than a decade Jon Gabriel has updated this chart. Every year the red bit gets bigger:
No congressman, senator or president needs to address the national debt because it’s easier and more profitable to blame the other side.
Debt increased under Republican presidents and Democratic presidents. It increased under Democratic Congresses and Republican Congresses.
In war and in peace, in boom times and in busts, after tax hikes and tax cuts, the Potomac flowed ever deeper with red ink.
After George W. Bush nearly doubled the debt, Barack Obama nearly doubled it again. In his single term, Donald Trump raised it by more than a third. Joe Biden still is spending more money we don’t have.
