Obama added $10 billion. That's the most.[
So which one of them ran up more national debt that all previous President combined? Which one doubled the entire national debt in only 8 years?
Are you disputing that Obama did that?
I'm comparing.
Which President Added Most to the U.S. Debt?
George W. Bush - President Bush added the second-greatest amount to the debt, at $5.849 trillion. But this was the fourth-largest percentage increase out of all the presidents. Bush increased the debt 101 percent from where it started on September 30, 2001, at $5.8 trillion.
Let's put them in order.
Ronald Reagan: Added $1.86 trillion, a 186 percent increase from the $998 billion debt at the end of Carter's last budget,
George W. Bush: Added $5.849 trillion, a 101 percent increase from the $5.8 trillion debt at the end of Clinton's last budget,
Barack Obama: Added $7.917 trillion, a 68 percent increase from the $11.657 trillion debt at the end of George W. Bush’s last budget
