President Obama did not want to keep any of the Bush tax cuts, but was in a position where republicans dug the heels in and his fellow Democrats were running for the hills in the face of attacks on them as tax and spend liberals.

My sense is Trump is going to put the debt out of reach. We are most likely going to have a $30-35 trillion debt by the time that idiot is done in four years. Republican care about debt only when a Democrat is President.
