The national debt has ballooned under Republican control. During the president’s first term, he added $7.8 trillion to the national debt. So far in the first year and a half of his second term, $3.8 trillion was added.

The total U.S. national debt is about $40 trillion. The government is borrowing so much money that it raises the interest rates for us.

The Republicans are also bankrupting us. The price of gas keeps edging higher. Tariffs make our imported goods cost more. For some, healthcare is a luxury they can’t afford combined with higher costs for everyone else. The higher cost of food with higher costs for everything else is bankrupting us.
