That's nothing compared to the $14 trillion projected under Trump.
@EricMGarcia This is rich coming from Jon Ossoff. Joe Biden and Democrats spent the last four years adding $9 trillion to the debt. Now, all of a sudden, they are fiscal hawks. What a joke.

This looks great @KampourakisK ! Can't wait to read it.
