Yes. Obama inherited a massive structural deficit due to the Bush tax cuts and open ended wars in the Middle East.
The Bush presidency was famously summed up by dick Cheney when he said “deficits don’t matter.”
Trump is dumber than Bush, btw.
Wars aren't structural. And obama started more wars. I linked to them above.
Dick Cheney said deficits don't matter. Obama created record setting deficits and debt.
Leave it to you to believe the former was worse.
