Trump broke his promise to fix the debt. He'll blame Congress in 2020.
WASHINGTON President Donald Trump's budget is the confession of a broken promise.
As a candidate, Trump famously vowed to eliminate the national debt in eight years.
But under the spending blueprint he released Monday which has "promises kept" in its title the federal government wouldn't start paying down debt for 15 years. Until then, even under the rosy projections of Trump's budget-writers, Washington would run annual deficits adding to a red-ink total that already stands at more than $22 trillion.
Of course, Trump's initial promise was fantastical. But his tax cuts and defense buildup ushered in a new era of trillion-dollar annual deficits. His own budget projects that next year's deficit will weigh in at $1.1 trillion.
