4 checks for “Mike Pence”
PolitiFact says: The U.S. last reduced its debt on a sustained basis from 1996 to 2001. This was largely before Pence entered Congress, and half a decade to a decade before the law he referred to passed.
PolitiFact says: The most recent Congressional Budget Office projection, from February 2023, shows that net interest on the national debt is projected to exceed defense spending starting in fiscal year 2029, but not in the next two years
PolitiFact says: The national debt has been at 100% of gross domestic product since 2013 by one commonly used measure and since 2020 by another measure.
PolitiFact says: The numbers -- from March -- are outdated and ignore the picture since the coronavirus pandemic took hold.
