US Budget Deficit sets record... again AND job creation lowest since 2011

The US budget deficit reached $1.02 trillion in 2019, according to the Treasury Department. This marks the first time the deficit has topped $1 trillion since 2012.
Thanks in part to Trump's tax cuts we are leaving the next generation with an astronomical deficit.

And: The US economy created jobs last year at the slowest pace since 2011, according to the Labor Department. Job creation averaged 175,000 monthly in 2019, compared with 225,000 in 2018.
