Ok, maybe I calculated something wrong... but I think in this case a knowing the percentage increase would be good.
In all the Bush years the the debt was raised by 77%.
In the four years of Obama 35%.
So it looks like he is on par with Bush almost exactly.
Take notice that in 2007 when Nancy P. and the democrats got control of the purse strings, the deficit spending doubled and they never even bothered to write a budget after that let alone pass one.
