The last president to balance the budget and decrease the debt was Clinton, but that was prior to the Democratic Party going completely nuts. Personally, I think forty-five did an outstanding job until the pandemic hit. Now we send 300 billion to Ukraine and 100 billion to house, feed, medicate, and educate illegals while we leave our citizens/veterans homeless, and FEMA doesn't have enough money to help citizens when a catastrophe hits. And don't forget the FEMA order to "avoid" homes with Trump signs. Such a mess. Shall I get into the mess abroad? He has put together an excellent cabinet of non-bureaucrats to fix this mess, but it will take some time. I have NEVER seen such an incompetent administration as we have now. Obama got social security solvent through 2050, and Trump left it alone. This administration has robbed the fund blind, and it will be broke in 2032.
