Analysis Shows Trump’s Tax Cuts and Spending Frenzy Added $8.4 Trillion in Debt
MARKETS TODAY
A fiscal saga unfolded during Trump’s presidency, where tax cuts, pandemic relief, and spending hikes led to an $8.4 trillion addition to the national debt. This tale of economic strategy and its consequences reveals how political decisions ripple through the nation’s finances. It’s a story that examines the balance between stimulating growth and managing public debt.
In a striking revelation by the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, a vigilant eye on America’s purse strings, the tenure of the Trump administration saw the national debt swell by an astonishing $8.4 trillion. This surge in debt was fueled by a combination of tax cuts, pandemic relief efforts, and an uptick in discretionary spending, painting a picture of fiscal decisions with lasting repercussions.
Diving deeper into the numbers, the CRFB’s analysis shows that the debt’s expansion can be attributed to specific policies: $2.1 trillion from discretionary spending increases in 2018 and 2019, $1.9 trillion from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, and another $1.9 trillion from the bipartisan CARES Act. This detailed scrutiny sheds light on the multifaceted nature of the debt increase under Trump’s watch.
