Bush's policies continue racking up debt to this day. Afghanistan for instance. Our entire debt stems from Bush policies. Made worse by the fact that the CBO told Bush that if he continued Clinton's economic policies the US could be debt free by 2006 and have a $2.5T surplus by 2011.
Our entire debt stems from Bush policies.
I didn't realize Obama had so little power.
He has the power to have ended those unaffordable policies despite the Republican shut down of Congress.
That's why the new debt is his.
