federal debt when obama took office 10 trillion
federal debt today 17 trillion
probable federal debt when obama leaves office 21 trillion.
spin it however you like, obama has added more to the debt than all previous presidents COMBINED.
Even going with those numbers, which I highly doubt given the drop in the deficit, so ... ?
Where was the outrage from Conservatives at Bush when he nearly increased as much debt as every president combined before him? Where was their outrage at Bush when he turned a $17b deficit into a $500b deficit and later into a trillion dollar deficit? Where was their outrage when Bush turn a projected $6t
surplus into an $8t
deficit ? Where was their outrage when his father wad on pace to increase the debt more than every president combined before him? Where was their outrage when Reagan increased by almost twice every president combined before him?
Don't you remember?
