Debt. Start paying up. (You knew how stupid your point was before making it)
Oh, you want to talk about debt? Great, lets start with the FACT that obama increased our national debt from 9 trillion to almost 20 trillion in 8 years, more than all other presidents combined. Yeah, lets talk debt and which party's policies have created most of it.
Trump's military expenditures were all funded by congress and included in the budget. do you really want to get into this?
Obama did. See I do not deny that nor did I support much of anything Obama did so yours really is not a valid rebuttal.
The budget was not funded. It ran us into another trillion dollars in debt (just like Obama).
The thing is Obama didn't do that.
The bush boy took our national debt to nearly 13 trillion dollars. He kept most of his wars off the general budget. Funding for it was mostly done by "emergency" spending bills. When Obama took office that debt was added to the general budget. Over night it shot up from 10 trillion to nearly 13 trillion dollars.
Obama started with a national debt of just short of 13 trillion dollars. He took that debt up to 19. trillion.
He added 6 trillion to the national debt. He also slashed the deficit by nearly 1 trillion dollars. The bush boy left a new historic high in deficit and over 1 trillion for the first time in our history. That deficit was 1.4 trillion when Obama took office. When Obama left office it was 400 and something billion. Which is nearly 1 trillion decrease in deficit. If he had more time or the republicans had worked with him, he would have eliminated that deficit and started to work on lowering the debt, just as Clinton was doing. Then the bush boy came along and blew it all up.
Obama got at least a little control on it but trump is president now and it's back to being out of control.
I really wish people would be honest.
I wish you would be honest. Obama doubled the debt, nothing you can say changes that.
And Trump has been adding to it by a trillion a year.
Yes, and I don't like that. But he was left with an incapable understaffed military that had to be rebuilt.
the real issue here is entitlement spending, and every one of the dem candidates want to increase that, so get ready for more taxes and huge deficits if any of those clowns ever gets in power.
