I remember election night when Gore was robbed of the presidency. America was till then a confident, unchallenged superpower, on it's way to erase national debt.
The Onion was prescient:

This seems like a long concerted effort to turn it into a banana republic, or maybe into Putin's Russia. I can see why the Russia of autocrats and billionaires could be aspirational for some. Life is so much easier for those at the top. The Europe of rules and regulations will be the rival, it's mere existence a challenge.
4 Trillion. 4 Fucking Trillion dollars in 1992, and by the early 2000 it would be gone. I rewatched the 1992 debate.
Trump raised it 8.5 Trillion in 4 years. Bush raised it fighting in Iraq. It is so much now that the actual debt is just a fact of the country. An anchor around the neck of the working class while the billionaires jet off to space and meddle in politics.
