REMEMBER the deficits start at Zero each year.
Bush ran up the National Debt from $5.7 trillion to $10.6 trillion, he added $4.9 trillion.
Obama ran up the National Debt from $10.6 trillion to $19.1 trillion, so far, for an addition of $8.5 trillion.
8.5 is 73% more than 4.9
You are right. I was wrong. it 347% not 400%.
You should probably stop posting math, because you suck at it, seriously.
And once you are talking about the DEBT!
NOT deficit spending do you understand the difference???
The national debt is when there is a deficit the US borrows to pay the deficit. That borrowing adds to the DEBT!
The deficit spending by Obama WAS 400% more then Bush and remember NOTHING adverse has happened during Obama's terms!
NO hurricanes. NO 9/11... No dot.com bust that cost $8 trillion in market losses. NOTHING of those gigantic events.
So why is that hard to admit? THEY happened! Nothing like that has happened to obama. And in spite of NO major events that costs TAX revenues
ObAMA has spent 400% more then BUSH!
And once you are talking about the DEBT!
Yes, that's what you get when you spend more than revenues.
NOT deficit spending do you understand the difference???
The deficit spending adds to the debt, that's why I'm showing how much was added to the debt.
The deficit spending by Obama WAS 400% more then Bush
Nope. Obama's deficit spending is $8.5 trillion, so far, compared to $4.9 trillion, for Bush.
ObAMA has spent 400% more then BUSH!
You should stop posting your math errors, they make you look stupid.
OK one last time: 7.842 trillion Obama rung up in deficits divide by Bush's 2.005 trillion... almost 400%

Don't know where you got 2.005 trillion for Bush's deficits, but you're way, way off.
7.842 trillion .. divide by.. 2.005 trillion... almost 400%
Which would mean an almost 300% increase, if your bad numbers were correct.
Try this, what percentage increase if you go from 3 to 6?
You asked!

Bush spent $3.546 trillion but when you subtract TARP which WAS PAID BACK PLUS $50B IN PROFIT.
Deduct $550 B from what was spent is $3.046 Billion. While Obama spent $6.220 Trillion and deduct $550B he spent $6.770 Trillion.
Divide $6.770 trillion Obama spent by Bush's $3.046 trillion and you get: 222%
Dividing 6 by 3 and you get 200%
Dividing 6 by 3 and you get 200%
And what is the percentage increase?
