My result:
 
You reduced the debt to 57% of GDP in 2018, and kept it at a sustainable level through 2030.

and I will never get reelected.

Your Results: Stabilize the U.S. Debt

You reduced the debt to 33% of GDP in 2018, and kept it at a sustainable level through 2030.
 
You reduced the debt to 60 percent of GDP, but not until 2023. Hopefully, you will have done enough to avert a fiscal crisis.

Is eliminating tax subsidies/deductions/credits a tax increase or a spending cut?
 
I consider cutting subsidies a spending cut.

I consider eliminating deductions and credits as a tax increase.
