"Starting in 2011, the deficits again started to shrink. During Obama’s term  the deficit was reduced by $900 Billion  before finally in 2015 the GOP managed to wrangle a “reconciliation” bill out of Obama where he again cut corporate taxes, as well as made permanent some of George W. Bush’s original tax cuts. This is the year everything reversed. Before this, under Clinton, Bush and Obama the deficit in almost every year was gradually decreasing. The balance we had of taxes and the economy was bringing the deficit down, the money coming in was slowly catching up with the money going out until 2015. Trump’s subsequent tax cut has continued the new trend even after the rest of Bush’s cuts have since expired. Obama had an average GDP of 2.3%, with 11.6 million jobs created and unemployment peaking at 10% in 2009, then falling to 4.3% in 2016. If we had continued on that downward deficit track, we would have again reached balance and another surplus in 2017-2018.

Ten keyboards in a box. $60 for each keyboard ... whatever it is
- No guarantee what you'll get: foam-and-foil, Alps or maybe one of the rubber domes, perhaps.
- No guarantee that more than two keyboards will have a complete keycap set.
- No guarantee that any keyboard will work.

Not worth it ...

... But do make a note of the seller, and check back in a month or two to see if he has lowered the asking price.

On the plus side, just the mention of Wangs presents opportunities for "wang" jokes, so that's good.
