Evidence (2021-08-03): Uninsured Or Unemployed? You Might Be Missing Out On Free Health Insurance [...] There is Medicaid, which is the state-federal public plan for low-income people. And, on HealthCare.gov and the state marketplaces there are free "bronze plans" — the lowest tier of plans — that might be available with zero-dollar premiums depending on your income. Both of those have been options for years. [...] "There are millions of people who are passing up free health insurance," says Cynthia Cox, director of the Program on the ACA at the nonprofit Kaiser Family Foundation, who authored a recent brief on the topic. "That free health insurance — most of the time — actually comes with very low deductibles, too. So a lot of times, people could have all — or the vast majority — of their health care costs paid for."

Evidence (2024-07-22): You qualify for full help if your weekly income is less than or equal to your weekly requirements (a personal allowance to cover your day-to-day living expenses and housing costs), or is greater than your weekly requirements by no more than half the current NHS prescription charges. If your income exceeds your requirements, you may be entitled to partial help. Your certificate will show how much you have to pay towards your health costs. The rules governing who's eligible are broadly the same as those for a means-tested benefit. But the assessment also takes into account council tax and housing costs, so you can get help with health costs even if your income is too high for a means-tested benefit.

Claim: “One quarter” of today’s $31.4 trillion federal debt “was accumulated in the four years of my predecessor,” Donald Trump. (Joe Biden, 2023-01-20)
Evidence (2023-01-20): Biden’s number is accurate; about one-fourth of the total debt incurred to date came on Trump’s watch. However, assigning debt to a particular president is tricky, because so much of the spending was approved by decades-old, bipartisan legislation that set the parameters for Social Security and Medicare. A different calculation shows more debt stemming from former President Barack Obama, with whom Biden served as vice president.
Claim: “One quarter” of today’s $31.4 trillion federal debt “was accumulated in the four years of my predecessor,” Donald Trump. (Joe Biden, 2023-01-20)
Evidence (2021-01-14): The national debt has risen by almost $7.8 trillion during Trump’s time in office. That’s nearly twice as much as what Americans owe on student loans, car loans, credit cards and every other type of debt other than mortgages, combined, according to data from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. It amounts to about $23,500 in new federal debt for every person in the country. [...] Nine days later, he tweeted, "Because of Tariffs we will be able to start paying down large amounts of the $21 trillion in debt that has been accumulated, much by the Obama Administration." [...] Weeks later, COVID-19 erupted and made the financial situation far worse. As of Dec. 31, 2020, the national debt had jumped to $27.75 trillion, up 39% from $19.95 trillion when Trump was sworn in. The government ended its 2020 fiscal year with the portion of the national debt owed to investors, the metric favored by the CBO, at around 100% of GDP. The CBO had predicted less than a year earlier that it would take until 2030 to reach that approximate level of debt. Including the trillions owed to various governmental trust funds, the total debt is now about 130% of GDP.

Evidence (2024-05-16): Joe Biden stated on June 15, 2023 in a speech: "Twenty-six out of every 100 students" in K-12 speak Spanish. Joe Biden stated on February 3, 2023 in a speech in Philadelphia: "We created more new jobs in two years than any president did in their entire term." Joe Biden stated on January 25, 2023 in a tweet: "Two years ago this week, 18 million people were out of work needing unemployment benefits. Today, that number is under 1.6 million, the lowest in decades." Joe Biden stated on January 20, 2023 in a speech at the White House: "One quarter" of today’s $31.4 trillion federal debt "was accumulated in the four years of my predecessor," Donald Trump. Joe Biden stated on January 12, 2023 in remarks at the White House: "Take-home pay for workers is going up." Joe Biden stated on October 8, 2022 in an Instagram post: The Biden administration has "created" more than double the number of jobs per month, on average, than any other administration going back to George H.W. Bush. [...] Joe Biden stated on January 20, 2023 in a speech at the White House: "One quarter" of today’s $31.4 trillion federal debt "was accumulated in the four years of my predecessor," Donald Trump.

Evidence (2023-01-19): US Hits Its $31.4 Trillion Debt Limit: What Now? The United States officially hit its congressionally authorized borrowing limit of $31.381 trillion on Thursday, forcing the Treasury Department to start using "extraordinary measures" to avoid a market-shaking default on its debt. [...] House Republicans are also pushing to balance the federal budget in 10 years — and to do so by only cutting spending, not raising revenue, a feat that Howard Gleckman, a senior fellow at the Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center, says is simply impossible. Similarly, the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget said in an analysis published this month that, to achieve balance within a decade, "all spending would need to be cut by roughly one-quarter and that the necessary cuts would grow to 85 percent if defense, veterans, Social Security, and Medicare spending were off the table."
Claim: “One quarter” of today’s $31.4 trillion federal debt “was accumulated in the four years of my predecessor,” Donald Trump. (Joe Biden, 2023-01-20)
Evidence (2023-02-14): Federal borrowing has essentially already hit the current debt limit of $31.38 trillion, though Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has said she can use a variety of accounting maneuvers to postpone a government default for a few months. So far, neither the administration nor the House is budging from the positions they’ve staked out, so the standoff continues. [...] Most of this analysis deals with "total public debt outstanding," which excludes roughly $19 billion in debt issued by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and a few other government-sponsored enterprises. Of the nearly $31.46 trillion or so in public debt, about $73.5 billion is not subject to the statutory debt limit; most of that represents the accounting treatment of certain Treasury securities sold at a discount to their face value ($68.2 billion) and debt held by the Federal Financing Bank ($4.8 billion). [...] The federal government’s total public debt stood at just under $31.46 trillion as of Feb. 10, according to the Treasury Department’s latest daily reckoning. Nearly all of that debt – about $31.38 trillion – is subject to the statutory debt limit, leaving just $25 million in unused borrowing capacity.
Claim: “One quarter” of today’s $31.4 trillion federal debt “was accumulated in the four years of my predecessor,” Donald Trump. (Joe Biden, 2023-01-20)
Evidence (2023-04-25): For example, in a White House speech in January, Biden said "one quarter" of the $31.4 trillion federal debt "was accumulated in the four years of my predecessor." His number is accurate, but omits important context about how the debt increased under Trump. Assigning debt to a particular president can be misleading because so much of it traces back to decades-old, bipartisan legislation that set the parameters for Social Security and Medicare.

Evidence (2021-01-14): One of President Donald Trump’s lesser-known but profoundly damaging legacies will be the explosive rise in the national debt that occurred on his watch. [...] Nine days later, he tweeted, "Because of Tariffs we will be able to start paying down large amounts of the $21 trillion in debt that has been accumulated, much by the Obama Administration." [...] Weeks later, the coronavirus crisis erupted and made the financial situation far worse.

Evidence (2023-01-19): $31.4 Trillion: The Debt Limit Fight Starts Now The federal government is set to hit its borrowing limit of roughly $31.4 trillion on Thursday, setting the stage for what’s likely to be a months-long fight between House Republicans, the Biden White House and congressional Democrats.
Claim: “One quarter” of today’s $31.4 trillion federal debt “was accumulated in the four years of my predecessor,” Donald Trump. (Joe Biden, 2023-01-20)
Evidence (2023-05-12): Strictly speaking, former President Barack Obama accumulated more debt than Trump. But Trump accumulated the most debt per year served in office. [...] Obama ran up more debt than any other president in American history. If you look at debt accumulated on a per-year basis, Trump’s rate of increase in the debt was higher over four years than over Obama’s eight.

Claim: “One quarter” of today’s $31.4 trillion federal debt “was accumulated in the four years of my predecessor,” Donald Trump. (Joe Biden, 2023-01-20)
Evidence (2024-03-07): Biden left out that the debt under his watch is on pace to exceed Trump’s one-term debt accumulation by the end of his current term, Jan. 20, 2025. During his first three years, Biden already accumulated $6.32 trillion in debt. For his final year, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office has projected a deficit of $1.582 trillion. Add those two figures together and you get $7.902 trillion as Biden’s four-year total. [...] Projections say that Biden’s four-year term debt will exceed the total debt accumulated under Trump. Also, assigning debt to a particular president can be misleading because so much of it traces back to decades-old, bipartisan legislation that set the parameters for Social Security and Medicare. [...] PolitiFact, "Joe Biden blames Donald Trump for one quarter of today’s debt, ignores context," Jan. 25, 2023
Claim: “One quarter” of today’s $31.4 trillion federal debt “was accumulated in the four years of my predecessor,” Donald Trump. (Joe Biden, 2023-01-20)
Evidence (2023-01-27): As Democrats and Republicans girded for battle over the nation’s debt limit, President Joe Biden sought to tag his predecessor, Donald Trump, with a significant share of the blame for the nation’s $31.4 trillion federal debt. The U.S. debt has been collecting for over 200 years, and "one-quarter of that debt was accumulated in the four years of my predecessor," Biden said during a Jan. 20 event with the U.S. Conference of Mayors. Biden also touted actions on his watch to cut the yearly deficit by hundreds of billions of dollars, setting up a contrast with the debt on Trump’s watch. [...] Part of the reason Obama’s figure is so much larger than Trump’s is that he served eight years, while Trump served only four. So, if you divide the debt accumulated during each president’s tenure by the number of years they served, Biden, with only two years in office, has seen the largest rise in debt, with Trump second and Obama third.
Claim: “One quarter” of today’s $31.4 trillion federal debt “was accumulated in the four years of my predecessor,” Donald Trump. (Joe Biden, 2023-01-20)
Evidence (2023-02-08): In a tweet on January 17, former Republican congressman turned MSNBC contributor David Jolly claimed that around a quarter of the country's $31 trillion national debt occurred while Trump was president. [...] In response, Jolly tweeted: "For context, roughly 25% of our total national debt incurred over the last 230 years actually occurred during the 4 years of the Trump administration. That's right. 25% of our entire national debt, all during the Trump years." [...] Jolly's own napkin math, putting Trump's rise in national debt at $8 trillion, is slightly higher than a quarter of the $31.4 trillion figure, coming in at 25.5 percent.

Evidence (2024-05-15): Jump to insightThe U.S. is currently above its debt limit of $31.4 trillion, meaning that when the current suspension of the limit expires in 2025, Congress will need to either increase the limit or suspend it again. [...] From the beginning of Donald Trump’s presidency in 2017 to its end in 2021, the national debt increased by 40.43%, about $8.18 trillion, according to the U.S. Treasury Department. It rose the most from September 2019 to September 2020, when Trump spent $3.6 trillion on coronavirus pandemic relief. [...] The current debt limit is $31.4 trillion, and national debt is about $34.6 trillion, meaning the government is above the debt limit. The government has surpassed the debt limit 78 times since 1960. To avoid catastrophe, Congress votes to either raise the limit, as it did in 2021, or suspend the limit, as it did in 2023. The suspension is in effect until 2025, then Congress will have to decide on further action.
