Similarly, the first deficit that occurred after President Trump took office was due to Obama's last budget. Here are the deficits by year that can accurately be attributed to Obama.
- FY 2009 - Even though the budget had been approved, Congress added emergency funding to stop the Great Recession. It added the first year's spending from Obama's Economic Stimulus Act to the FY 2009 budget. That $253 billion accrues to Obama.
- FY 2010 - Obama's first budget created a $1.294 trillion deficit.
- FY 2011 - This budget deficit was $1.3 trillion. Defense spending hit $855 billion. Republicans stalled on raising the debt ceiling, creating a debt ceiling crisis.
- FY 2012 - The deficit was $1.087 trillion.
}
- FY 2013 - This was the first Obama budget where the deficit, $679 billion, was less than $1 trillion. Thank sequestration. It forced a 10 percent cut in spending.
- FY 2014 - The deficit was $485 billion. Tax revenue rose to $3.02 trillion.
- FY 2015 - The deficit fell further to $438 billion.
- FY 2016 - The deficit rose to $585 billion. Congress added $58.6billion to pay for the Afghanistan War.
- FY 2017 - The deficit was $666 billion. Congress added $100 billion to Obama's budget request after Trump took office.
How Much Did Obama Add to the Nation's Debt?
You're a fucking liar, as Marxists tend to be, but stupid as all get out....
Very nice copy and pasting, but lets do a little math, don't worry, I will do it for you because I know anything beyond 2+2 is too much for you.
Using the FY numbers you used above
Bush II:
Oct 1 2001: 5,806,151,389,190
Jan 19 2009: 11,909,829,003,511
That is an 105.1% change in the national debt
Obama:
Oct 1 2009: 11,920,519,164,319
Jan 19 2017: 20,244,900,016,053
That is an 69.9% change in the national debt
You may not know this, but 105.1% is greater than 69.9%.
All data came from the government itself...Debt to the Penny (Daily History Search Application)
Obama added more dollars to the national debt than Bush.
You lying pile of shit.
I never claimed otherwise, I said Bush II added a higher percentage to the debt. Which you claimed was not true, now you know it is.
