the WashingtonSlimes is hardly a credible source, which they prove by not telling the truth about what the GOP National Debt was at the end of Bush's last fiscal year, $12 trillion. Bush actually DID double the GOP National Debt from $6 trillion to $12 trillion.
yeah keep rationalizing
and FYI I'm no defender of Bush or Reagan I just tell the truth you should try it one day
the debt at the beginning of Obammy's tenure was 10 trillion and change at the end it was 19 trillion and change
so for all intents and purposes double
The GOP national Debt at the end of Bush's last fiscal year was $11,909,829,003,511.75 and we have not yet reached the end of Obama's last fiscal year but it will not be anywhere near $24 trillion for the WashingtonSlimes' fake news "nearly doubles" lie to not be a lie.
But Bush did in fact double the GOP National debt from $5,807,463,412,200.06 to $11,909,829,003,511.75
See for yourself:
Government - Historical Debt Outstanding - Annual 2000 - 2015
