That's exactly what Trump did, and the effects of what he did are still being felt, as his tax giveaways don't expire until after 2025.

 

If you decided to work only half your previous hours, but continued to have the same expenses, chances are you'd have to borrow money to stay afloat. Then, if you couldn't repay it immediately, you'd have to pay interest--and your debt would accumulate.

 

Now, here is where I'm going to introduce a very important, and apparently, hard-for-conservitards-to-comprehend concept. When you don't have enough money, it's because:

 

1. You haven't earned/been given/stolen enough.

2. You've spent/thrown away/had stolen too much.

 

Now, it could be either factor or a combination of both.

 

In the case above, it would be unreasonable to say that your debt is the result of excess spending. You're in debt because you cut your income in half.

 

Trump's tax cuts, which are the equivalent of a person deciding to only work half time, cost the government $2 trillion every year. You mentioned increased spending of $665 billion.

 

So is this a spending problem (horrible horrible LIBURRUL spendin'), or a revenue problem (lingering aftereffects of the Turd)?
