Where did that debt come from? Far more to it than just numbers. What items made up Bush II's rise? What items made up the rise after November 2008?

Oh, geez, the numbers you post have validity - everyone else's are just numbers.
9/11 and building up the military that Clinton dismantled to balance the budget cost a pretty penny.
Despite what anyone else says, I applaud Bush for going into Iraq. If he hadn't, what kind of powder keg would we be dealing with today with that Hitleresque nut job still in power?!~
Repubs pandering to the left during the 2nd half of the Bush administration and buying into Democratic reckless spending philosophy.
You tell me what items made up the rise after 11/08. I'd say it's just some more reckless spending on the backs of the American tax payer.
We should get the hell out of Afghanistan - talk about a worthless cause. Fly the drones, take out the poppy fields, weapons, terrorists and bring the soldiers home. They are dying needlessly, and there doesn't seem to be any Democrats crying about it like they did with the war in Iraq.
I feel the sorriest for the youngest generation - they are going to be paying dearly for the debt that is accumulating exponentially with no end in sight. It has to stop. There has to be some brakes on this runaway spending train.
