MODERATORS
 

On one hand, the Democrats have a history of managing the economy correctly with moderate fiscal responsibility, maintaining social services, and pushing back on corporate excesses and warmongering. The last time we had a balanced budget was Clinton's.

On the other hand, Republicans claim they are better for the economy, although they are the ones that constantly crash it, do the most to worsen the debt and deficits, and take away living standards for the average American.

So who's better for the economy? It's so hard to tell.

Showing the deficit is better than debt, it more clearly shows the president's budget.

Trump took Obama's shrinking deficit to a growing deficit, and that was before the pandemic.
