Thank you. I added the "overtones" in response to the original poster's "overtones."
I say that the "eight year" reference was political;
- Because it coincides with the length of the last two-term President,
- Because no explanation was given for using that oddly specific time-frame,
- Because it was unnecessary. The debt is 20T. Whether it went from 9 to 20, or from 15 to 20 in the last (8 or 10 or 40 or 2) years, is irrelevant--unless you're making a political point. What matters for a 2017 tax plan discussion is that the debt is 20T--regardless of how fast it rose in "the last eight years."
It's obvious to me. I suspect it is obvious to most who are willing to admit it.
I have no issues or debate or proof if it is not obvious to others, only the above points.
EDIT: Maybe this'll help:
Can I just refer to the time frame that a certain POTUS has been in office while referencing negative facts? Or will I be deemed as trying to make a political post while attempting to circumvent the rules?
