I'm not disagreeing that Bush's administration exploded the deficit. When Clinton left office, and Bush began, the deficit was at 4.2 trillion. After 8 yrs of the Bush administration the deficit was at 10.1 trillion. When Obama took office it is now 14.3 trillion. It took 8 yrs for Bush to ring up 6 trillion dollars. It only took Obama not even 2 yrs to ring up almost 3.2 trillion and he isnt even finished with his first term. His spending is unprecedented to what this country has ever seen before.You're confusing the national debt with the yearly deficit.Get back to me when you learn the difference.
