There ya go... pretty coherent. Would you tel.l me how all the Republicans made the mess?
That's easy......tax cuts for their rich friends and supporters. Reagan slashed tax rates to pre depression levels and began to borrow from foreign banks. At the time we owed a total of a little more than one trillion dollars. He and Bush's old man quadrupled the debt. Bill Clinton raised taxes, balanced the budget and left a surplus. We were on an absolute path to completely settle the national debt. The first goddam thing George W. Bush did was cut taxes for his oil buds twice, 2001 and 2003. Then he started two wars, one totally unnecessary and funded them with "emergency spending bills" and guess what? He doubled the national debt from $5.7 trillion to nearly $12 trillion. I don't give a good goddam what Fox News tells you people you're the ones who screwed everything up:

Obama by himself ran up over $8Trillion in debt
Time for a new chart
Horse Shit.....take away the two trillion he had to pay in annual interest on the debt that was there when he took over and you narrow it down to what he actually spent. Amazing what ending two trillion dollar wars...one totally unnecessary will do for the coffers:
Don't you folks ever pay attention to anything except your own shit and Fox News??
Actually he's fighting at least three wars at present.
The only real war he's fighting is one of the two Bush started. How many coffins are showing up at Dover every day/week?
That's strange. I was certain that Obama said that Bush's Iraq war was over. Of course he started another Iraq war after Bush's Iraq war was declared over.
