I can only assume those here lamenting Trump and Musk have been fine with the 4 year global flood of humanity crossing our borders and the tax $ to put these people up.

Budget deficit swells in November, pushing fiscal 2025 shortfall 64% higher than a year ago
Published Wed, Dec 11 20242:08 PM ESTUpdated Wed, Dec 11 20242:55 PM EST
The U.S. budget deficit swelled in November, putting fiscal 2025 already at a much faster pace than a year ago when the shortfall topped $1.8 trillion, the Treasury Department reported Wednesday.
For the month, the deficit totaled $366.8 billion, 17% higher than November 2023 and taking the total for the first two months of the fiscal year more than 64% higher than the same period a year ago on an unadjusted basis.

U.S. deported 271,484 immigrants to nearly 200 countries last fiscal year, the highest tally in a decade
President Joe Biden took office in 2021 pledging to halt deportations, sending Congress a bill that would have offered paths to citizenship for most of the country's 11 million undocumented immigrants. But surging border crossings derailed his plans, and Biden officials ended up expanding deportations, according to data published Thursday.
Where are the missing children? Why was his decline hidden from the American people? What's with the swelling deficit?
The Trump administration deliberately failed to keep proper records of the children it separated from their parents. It now requires DNA testing to return them.
25% of the current debt is due to the Trump tax cuts for billionaires which are not scheduled to expire until 2025. The nominal deficit in the 2022 and 2023 fiscal years (the 2021 budget was passed under Trump) has been lower than the yearly deficits under Trump. The only recent negative deficits were in Bill Clinton's second term.

So deflect to Trump and give the Big Guy Biden a pass? That would be in keeping with the majority posting here...
So how would you suggest recovering data that was never collected?
Debt waxes and wanes and Republicans are always fast to condemn it when they can attribute it to a Republican(ETA: Democratic) president. However, I know that you've watched Schoolhouse Rock and understand which branch of government appropriates.
Deflectors on maximum!
I missed typed, but I think you read what I meant to say. Karl Rove rather famously said that "deficits don't matter" when GWB was in the WH and then turned around and publicly criticized Obama for the debts that resulted from the Bush tax cuts and the economic collapse at the end of Bush's second term. You know that just as well as I do. You can also look at debt and deficit by year and see a clear pattern that should make you question your support for Republicans, if debt and deficit matter to you.
