• The Republican national debt

    Nikki Haley's planned address at the Club For Growth meeting:

    “The last two Republican presidents added more than $10 trillion to the national debt. Think about that. A third of our debt happened under just two Republicans,” Haley will say, referencing Trump and former President George W. Bush.

    Her remarks also include sharp reference to the use of congressional earmarks and unnamed “politicians who self-deal.”

    Trump’s spending record while in office is a point of vulnerability with conservatives as he seeks to take back the White House.

    The Manhattan Institute, a conservative think tank, has noted that Trump’s actions during his single term in office have been projected as “costing $7.8 trillion over the decade compared to $5.0 trillion for President Obama and $6.9 trillion for
    President Bush.” https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/3883980-haley-to-hit-trump-on-spending-record-in-closed-door-saturday-speech/

    And she's softballing it. It's a lot more than that for Bush II and Trump.
