Thanks to the corporate media and Republican Party, deficits only matter when a Democrat is President.

Remember when Mitch McConnell took us to the edge of clif over his refusal to raise the Debt Ceiling during the Obama presidency? Yet, when W and Trump 45 and Trump 47 increased the debt by trillions for their wealth taxcuts, Republicans never raised an objection. Because we live in the United States of Amnesia, the uninformed voters fall for it every time.
