Thanks Reagan - The founding father of non-war time debt. Will forever be paying for the 1980 mistake. ​

Top 5 Presidents Who Added to National Debt by Percentage​

Here are the top five presidents in modern U.S. history who recorded the largest percentage increase to national debt during their term(s) in office.

1. Franklin D. Roosevelt (1933 to 1945)​

President Franklin D. Roosevelt (FDR) contributed the largest percentage increase to U.S. national debt to date. Roosevelt entered office when the United States was in the depths of the Great Depression, the longest economic recession in modern history. FDR’s New Deal, a series of government-funded programs to fight the devastating effects of the Great Depression, added significantly to the national debt.

The U.S. national debt went up when FDR took office because of the New Deal.8 But the biggest contributor to the national debt under FDR was World War II.

2. Woodrow Wilson (1913 to 1921)​

President Woodrow Wilson added to the U.S. national debt with funding war efforts during World War I. Under Wilson, U.S. government debt increased from over $2.9 billion in 1913 when he took office to over $23.9 billion when he left office in 1921.

3. Ronald Reagan (1981 to 1989)​

President Ronald Reagan added over $1.6 trillion to the U.S. national debt. The actor-turned-president supported supply-side economics and believed government intervention reduced economic growth. His economic policies involved widespread tax cuts, decreased social spending, and more military spending. Reagan increased defense spending by 35% in his two terms as president.

Bwaaaa “non war time” spending….

Reagan entered office in the last decade of a 40 year spending war, that he didn’t start.

He certainly finished it though.

Dems To Police Third-Party Candidates’ Ballot Access Efforts In Hopes Of Saving Biden​


View attachment 628238

The Democratic National Committee (DNC) is forming a group of lawyers to monitor how third-party contenders seek ballot access as the party continues to worry that such candidates could potentially hinder President Joe Biden’s reelection chances, The New York Times reported Wednesday.

Lawyers Dana Remus and Robert Lenhard will lead the new team to counter what the party views as a threat to increasing former President Donald Trump’s chances of returning to the White House in November, according to the NYT. As independent Robert F. Kennedy Jr., “Justice for All Party” candidate Cornel West, the Green Party and No Labels continue to notch ballot access wins across the country, the party views policing these efforts as paramount.

If Donald Trump and his crew of misfit toys had half a brain, between them…

They would pick a center-right female for VP that could potentially assuage the angst of Independent suburban women over the issue of abortion.

So I fully expect La Don Don to pick a hardcore pro-life male, likely from a decidedly Red state (that will bring him no EC votes), and further alienate Independent suburban women.

Nah. He will be his own VP. He doesn’t need anyone else.

Biden's $155 million in Donations dwarves Trump's $41.9 million as Joe invests in huge ad campaigns and the ex-president asks donors for help to cover his fraud fine​


  • FEC filings show Biden campaign alone had $71 million at end of February while Trump campaign had $33.5 million cash on hand
President Joe Biden's campaign cash advantage over former President Donald Trump swelled to $113 million as the ex-president is bogged down by legal costs heading into the general election rematch.

Biden's campaign had $71 million cash on hand at the end of February according to Federal Election Commission filings Wednesday night. It brought in more than $21 million and spent just over $6 million across the month.

Over the weekend, the president's campaign announced including the committees supporting him, Biden raised a whopping $53 million in February and had an unprecedented $155 million cash on hand at the end of the month.

Biden's massive cash advantage has given the president the ability to make an early digital advertising investment as well as book ads for the fall in what is expected to be the most expensive political race ever.

According to the filing, the committee spent nearly $5.6 million on legal consulting and still owed Alina Habba's law firm $534,361.
