 it's an election year and we'll see Bidenomics in the “news” a lot. And a lot of “who you gonna believe, me or your own eyes?” from the administration. They'll either go full stupid on trying to hide severe increases to the deficit, or they'll go ludicrous stupid and not care about the deficit optics.

I'm going with ludicrous stupid: $40.47 trillion.
