Why this verdict View evidenceHide evidence
Why we checked itBaisley characterizes the national debt/deficit as '40-plus trillion dollars.' The actual U.S. national debt figure and whether it constitutes a 'deficit' in this framing is verifiable and materially affects the audience's understanding of fiscal policy.
What we foundU.S. national debt passed $40 trillion in 2026, so the figure is right for the debt. He called it the deficit; the annual deficit is about $2 trillion.
