I don't wanna say anything nice about Obama, but he was saddled with the recession left by Bush, he was saddled with paying for the Bush wars. And he was saddled with an obstructive congress dedicated to nothing but his failure. Obama didn't have much control over spending during his presidency. If you'll recall, John Boehner controlled the purse strings back then.
Cutting spending will not save us. Only increasing revenue dramatically will get the bills paid. Raising up the working class to create a vibrant economy....streamlining spending to do the most good.
President Trump has floated the idea of bailing out any of the wealthy who might suffer losses during this downturn...it is they our government is sworn to serve after all. And preserving their wealth from taxes is the mountain they will die on.
**Edit** Oh and Dana, it's good to see you again!
