Who gains from pausing the gas tax? Probably not drivers — or Biden

Again, libtards ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS use the word 'deficit' rather than 'debt'.
Trump didn't add anything to our debt, and neither did Obama. Presidents don't control the purse strings. It is Congress that does this.
Trump is a proper noun... Proper nouns are capitalized.
Trump didn't lie (he was honest).
Presidents don't control the purse strings. Congress does.
The tax cuts weren't bogus (they were real).
So, Presidents don’t have veto powers?

You didn't care when Barack Hussein O. ran up trillions in deficit and doubled the debt.

And now the rich white lib aristocracy is throwing table crumbs to the peasants. And claiming they are the new Mother Teresa's. Just without the vow of poverty.

You meant trillion, not billion (your math sucks). And, you left out these past two years of Democrat control...
2021 ~2800
2022 ~1000+ (estimated)
2017 [Republican Congress]
2018 [Republican Congress]
2019 [Democrat House, Republican Senate]
2020 [Democrat House, Republican Senate]
2021 [Democrat Congress]
2022 [Democrat Congress]
Looks to me like Democrats are making "the deficit" worse...

He can. He just seems to prioritize debt over deficit (as I do). Debt is what matters. "Reducing the deficit" is not accomplishing anything (debt is still rising).
No, that's not. That's still skyrocketing debt.

We needed SOME government spending after the pandemic. Biden added even more spending. He was told not to do it by several economist. However Biden did it anyway and now it is backfiring on the American people. Inflation was 1.4% when Trump left office NOW its 8.6%

MUCH lower than the price of everything now, and we're nowhere near the end of the price increases... Just wait until this year's food harvest comes in...

Excuse number????
What does our debt have to do with prices? We can always go directly back to the way trump handled the virus to help explain todays inflation.

Presidents don't control the purse strings. Congress does (especially the House of Representatives).

Democratic control means nothing, Trump always had veto power which he never used, so the makeup of Congress doesn't matter.
If you wanna go that way, just look at the massive reductions in our deficits under a totally Democratic administration.

The numbers I posted reflect sizable reductions in our debt since Biden took office.
Trumps handling of the pandemic related directly o massive deficits.

Is 400 billion a bit better that 3++ trillion. The deficits are going down, lets see where they are in two more years

Wrong.
The inflation surge that we are experiencing right now stems from the Democrat "stimulus bill" of March 2021.

In some part yes, but also the massive spending once the virus began to dissipate. A good example is the auto industry, today you have to pay over invoice to get a vehicle, because the manufacturers cant produce enough to meet demand.

Yes it does. It means that THEY are controlling the purse strings during the periods with the most reckless spending.
Trump doesn't control the purse strings.
It is the only thing that matters, as Congress controls the purse strings.
"Reducing the deficit" is not accomplishing anything. Debt is still increasing, now to a "point of no return".

No. Debt is still increasing.
Meh. Debt is still increasing.
Even higher debt than today.
