9/11 and 2008 broke US, COVID finished it.

Clinton almost brought deficit under control.  Greenspan said "what are we going to do after all the debts are paid off?"  He was supporting a Bush tax cut. 

Then 9/11 happened, federal spending soared, and then 2008 crash happened, even more bailout.  

COVID bail out costing even more. 

Even that was okay, but Republicans found the excuse to carry out their agenda.
