Not according to the CBO, the CRFB, or anyone else credible - in fact they weren't even in the ballpark of being 'paid for.'
Which enacted bill(s) are you talking about? Remember, you need to come up with one that was enacted into law in the last 12 months.
Here is one bill that was never paid.
I have been "stiffed" three times in my 30 year professional career by someone who I rendered services to, gave a finished product to, but who refused to pay for those services even though they acknowledged the services and products were correct, were what they asked for, and were never challenged for not being correct. I am lucky in having only three, but those three hurt badly. [EET ] Joe Biden was one of those people. I worked on his 1988 Presidential campaign financial disclosure engagement. I busted it for him and got everything right. He stiffed me for over $15,000 worth of work. He refused to pay once he dropped out of th e race. I did similar Capitol Hill campaign financial disclosure work for Bob Dole, Pat Buchanan, and a Democratic candidate for Ambassador to New Zealand. All of those folks paid even though they lost the election or did not get the appointment. That type of work is very demanding and very tedious because your efforts are scrutinized by Congress. Biden did not care.
Q: Is Joe Biden refusing to pay a $150,000 campaign debt? A: Contrary to a claim in a chain e-mail, public records show Biden paid his debt to an air charter company in full, well before Obama tapped him for vice president. T...
Both Democratic and Republican senators who negotiated a bipartisan infrastructure bill have claimed the legislation is “paid for.” But a budget watchdog group says the bill only pays for about half of the $548 billion in new spending. The crux of the disagreement is that the senators count savings from COVID-19 relief programs that didn’t end up costing as much as expected.

BROWN/AFP via Getty Images.“The framework claims $491 billion of offsets, and an additional $56 billion of savings from dynamic scoring, to pay for the bill,” the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget writes in a post on its website. “However, many of these pay-fors count savings that have already occurred. We estimate actual offsets will total roughly $200 billion before dynamic scoring.”

Agip - you said 215 Trump officials were indicted. I googled and found this - that 11 had been indicted. Either back up your allegation or apologize. One or the other. You said 215 and I am seeing 11. Please put up or shut up.
So by your count, the Trump administration was 11 times more corrupt than the Obama administration. That's better than 215 times, but still ...
I think this is misleading. Obama served two terms and Trump served only one. So that should mean Trump administration is 22 times more corrupt, not 11.

If FAt Hurts is saying no one from the Obama administration was indicted and 11 from the Trump admin. were indicted, and that means the Trump admin. is 11 times more corrupt, then obviously Fat Hurts missed a few classes (or courses) in school. Like saying 100 is 100 times more than zero.
Do bills that were passed 12 months and 11 days ago not count?
A lot of smart people say the infrastructure bill was paid for. But even those that don't point to a pretty small deficit spread over 10 years. It's a fiscally responsible bill any way you look at it. So much so, that 13 Republican senators crossed party lines to vote for it.
12 months was your number, so yes, it counts! :-)
(I'll admit that the covid relief bill was probably too big. At the time it was very hard to gauge how much money was needed. And if it didn't pass at all we would have bigger problems.)
Children are malleable and thus vulnerable. The Left knows this. Their GOAL is to shape the sexual behavior and identification of children. They don't oppose the Florida bill because they misconstrue it. They oppose it because they seek the sexual indoctrination of children.

I did great in math, but it looks like you flunked reading.
I said, "So by your count, the Trump administration was 11 times more corrupt..."
Politicians who are OK with little kids hearing about their teachers' boyfriends, or politicians who are autocrats or autocrat supporters.....hmmm.....tough call.
VERY similarly.....politicians who like/support oftentimes annoying PC crap, or.....politicians who dream of getting away with stuff like Putin? ANOTHER tough call. Is it uncivil if I call you a moran? I guess. But it's also like saying that the sky is blue, so....it kinda seems OK.

Yes, I said "no one could witness the last 12 months and conclude Democrats are the party of fiscal restraint." That also includes things they tried to pass but couldn't. You could argue two Democrat senators showed admirable fiscal restraint, but they practically got kicked out of the party for it.

By your count, Obama had 1 indictment.
My bad then. I thought you were still going with the zero indictments since Craig was out of office by then.

You'd be hard-pressed to say what "The Democrats" wanted to pass. The way congress works, individuals say lots of things and propose lots of legislation they know won't pass. I think you have to go with what laws are actually enacted to say what they really wanted as a group. Same for both parties.
But going all the way back to our original discussion, there is little doubt that the deficit has done much better under Democrats in the past several decades. And also, Democratic-controlled congresses have tended to follow the "pay as you go" rule a lot more than Republicans.

Democrats tax and spend.
Republicans borrow and spend.
Did you just take some crazy pills?!? You just said the deficit has done much better under Democrats in recent years. Hello, Fat Hurts!!! The deficit for Biden's first year (2021) was $2.8 TRILLION! TRILLION! That is the second highest EVER. The only time it was higher was in the Covid year. Under Trump the deficit was never $1 trillion. So you tell me ... who is doing a better job on the deficit - Biden and the Dems at $2.8 trillion or Trump and the Repubs with the deficit never topping $1 trillion? Again, are you taking crazy pills?
