See those numbers? They're the national debt by year according to your own savior's Treasury Department. Let's see what they say, because they sure as shit don't say what you think they do.

• GWB, spendthrift pseudo-conservative that he was, increased the national debt by $4.2 trillion. SHAMEFUL, yes, but then again, your messiah has increased the debt $4.1 trillion AND HE'S ONLY HALFWAY DONE. Let me say it differently: Bush squandered our national fortune on two wars and allowed his friends to loot the Treasury (according to you stupid mf'ers, anyway). Yet even with all that malfeasance and such that you pussies ALMOST took to the streets about, he increased the debt by the same amount in EIGHT YEARS that has taken Lord Zero FOUR.
• Your horseshit claim that Clinton reduced the debt during his jizz-soaked reign is exactly that: horseshit. To his credit, he grew it more slowly than did anyone else, but then again, who was watching the pursestrings (not the bra straps - the purse strings. Newt will go down as the greatest wingman in recorded history, freeing Clinton to get so much ***** he looked like a glazed donut).
• Your savior presided over the largest one-year dollar increase in national debt in American history. The next year he came close to his own record.
• Say, which is greater: Lord Zero's 2009 dollar increase to the debt, or the dollar increase to the debt OVER THE ENTIRE REAGAN ADMINISTRATION? Gee, for a guy you assholes claim ran up the debt like no tomorrow, he was a novice compared to 0dumbo.
• Republicans have spent us into oblivion, you say, and Dems try to restore order? Let's see...since Carter, the Dems have been in power 16 years and have increased the debt $350 billion per year, on average. Republicans were in power for 20 years and averaged...guess what...$350 billion per year addition to national debt. THE DIFFERENCE IS THAT YOUR SAVIOR HAS BEEN AVERAGING $1.5 TRILLION IN ANNUAL ADDITION TO THE DEBT. Let's see how that looks in 2016, shall we?
  
  

Get to work, you money-wasting assfaces.

^ Ditto. This thread should be copied, and put in "Political Ammunition"

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.

In absolute numbers the increase in debt was almost the same for Bush's 8 versus Soetero's 4.  Also, the fed gov has no buyer's for it's debt anymore.  It just goes into a computer at the federal reserve in Delaware.  That's the one of the real reason's they don't want the public to look at the fed's balance sheets.

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.

There is a problem with your post. Primitives don't understand what you are talking about, and they don't really care.

I am still trying to see where Reagan increased the debt 3x.

[jukin]

Something to remember about GWB's debt is that:

1. The last two years were the huge spending increases under the DUmb scrunt Pelosi.
2. The last year was not signed by Bush because the DUmb scrunt Pelosi refused to pass it for signing and used a continuing resolution(s).
3. The biggest hit was TARP and that has been paid back except for a few banks and the GM UAW.
4. Point 3 means that 0bama has borrowed even more than is shown. More in the neighborhood of $7 trillion range.

Yeah 0bamam is that much of an economic illiterate. He was going to have to file for bankruptcy until Ayers ghost wrote his first book.
