America tangthu sungah national debt tam kibehlapsak pen ngate:
1. Franklin D. Roosevelt (1933-1945): Galpi Nihna hunin leitung bup sum haksatna Great Recession panin US a hunkhia 1933-1945 kikal term thum sungin President Franklin D. Roosevelt hunin national debt 1050% dektakin na khang a, leibat $236 billion na kibehlapsak hi. Ama mai-a President President Herbert Hoover in leibat $22.5 billion debt na nusiatsan hi. President FDR' hunin Great Depression leh New Deal in kum simin deficits a pian'sak hangin deficit or leibat tam a piangsak pen Galpi Nihna ah US a kihel sung 1942 - 1945 kikal sungin US budget $186.3 billion kizang hangin leibat tam na kibehlapsak pen hi.

3. Ronald Reagan (1981-1989): US tangthu sungah tax cuts lianpen a bawl President Reagan' hunin a supply-sude economics hangin economy a khan'sak loh banah a tax cut hangin sum muhna siah kila (revenue) na liansak ahih manin leibat $1.85 trillion na khangsak hi.

4. George W. Bush (2001-2009): President Bush in national debt $6.1 trillion, or 101% increase na kibehlapsak ahih manin a lina ah pang hi. Republican President ahihna tawh galdo mah a pa bangin term nih President Bush na uk a, 9/11 attacks a thukkikna dingin War on Terror kici a patna hangin Iraq War leh Afghanistan War ah multi-trillion-dollar na beisak hi. Tua loin Bush' hunin sum leh paai haksatna 2001 recession leh 2008 financial crisis na piang ahih manin leibat tamsak hi.
5. Barack Obama (2009-2017): Bush hun panin US economy haksatna a kiluahsuksawn (legacy) hunin term nih President Obama' hunin national debt a dollar in etna ah a tam pen $8.6 trillion na kibehlapsak a, a percentage in etna ah 78% na khan' beh ahih manin a ngana ah pang hi. Obama in Great Recession $831 billion economic stimulus package tawh a do banah tax cuts ah $858 billion na beisak hi. Bush panin a luahsuksawn Iraq War leh Afghanistan War a do zomna leh Great Recession panin US a hutkhiatna leh tax cut hangin kum giat sungin national debt $8.6 trillion na behlap hi.
A tungah US presidents nga i gente in US federal debts a kibehlapsak uh pen a presidency term uh tawh kituakin etna leh, Reagan cih loh Galpi hun lai takin recession hun lai takin president lente ahih manin pum mawhsak theihna ding om lo hi. Obama presidency hunin economy growth a luahsuksawn leh ama hunin galdo lo hi ci-in a gumte in a phat mahmah hangun Donald Trump in a dollar sumtang tawh tuatna ah kum li sungin gambup leibat (national debt) tam kibehlapsak penpen lai hi.
Tua bek hi loin President Donald Trump in White House office ah a tut ni January 20, 2017 hi a, a first budget May 2017 in na submit pan hi. tRump presidency hun pen Obama' administration hunin 2018 fiscal year (FY) in huam kha a, October 1, 2017 ma-in 2018 fiscal year kipan nai lo hi. Trump a term masa pawl khat President Barack Obama' budget for fiscal year 2017 kici September 30, 2017 dong a huamkha tengin budget ngahsa na nei ahih manin ama budget pen Oct. 2017 panin January 20, 2021 in national debt kum thum leh kha kua sung bekin $7 trillions dektak $6.7 trillions leibat na kibehlapsak hi.
Donald Trump in term nih len suak hi hen la, a term masa bangin leibat kibehlap kikim hileh kum giat or term nih sungin national debts ahih $13.7 trillions kibehlapsak ding ahih manin US tangthu sungah amah zahin America a zawng behsak kuamah om lo cihna hi. US economy ka khangsak a, America gam ka hauh behsak hi cih pen number sim dan thei lote bek a khemna hi. A pa billionaires mi Fred Trump panin a hauhna a luahsuksawn hi napi-in li vei leibat thangba ah awkin financial bankruptcies a tuah a lamdang na hilo a, sumbawl siam hi loin a kam a cidam leh kiphat leh mut siam hi zaw hi.
US in American corporates or super rich a kici multi-billionaires mite sungah tax share man la-in khangsak loin tRump' Tax Cuts and Jobs Act 2017 law a zat zom suak suak leh kum simin national debts trillion dollars kibehlap beh den ding a, US Treasury ah revenue lut dinga kilawm zah lut loin billionaires leh corporates golte a hauh semsem hangin federal government in leibat hau semsem ding ahih manin Chinese economic superpower lel semsem ding cihna hi.
