US outstanding public debt
* 3 months before the elections, $35.06 trillion
* Election day Nov 4, $35.88 trillion, an increase of $880 billion over 3 months or average of $9.2 billion/day
* 1st day of Trump $36.22 trillion, an increase of $334 billion or average of $5.8 billion/day
* Feb 27 or 1+ month of Trump, $36.22 trillion, zero increase.
That is what fiscal discipline and responsibility means.
Enough of endless borrowings via endless wastes including endless wars.
