*National Debt has increased more under Obama in three years that the entire Bush 8 year Presidency

*The Debt rose $4.899 trillion during the two terms of the Bush presidency. It has now gone up $4.939 trillion since President Obama took office.

*Mr. Obama has been quick to blame his predecessor for the soaring Debt, saying Mr. Bush paid for two wars and a Medicare prescription drug program with borrowed funds.

The federal budget sent to Congress last month by Mr. Obama, projects the National Debt will continue to rise as far as the eye can see. The budget shows the Debt hitting $16.3 trillion in 2012, $17.5 trillion in 2013 and $25.9 trillion in 2022.

So how is his plan paying down the debt again??!!

Took all of .1 seconds to find - I'm surprised you have such a difficult time with the facts.

Yes, Rude - but Obama didn't cause that debt, nor incur that debt - it's just the ongoing interest and debt from previous years. It would be that high if McCain were president.

Do you not understand that?

Again - Obama has not raised the national debt by starting programs that added $5 trillion to our national debt. If that were true, you would be able to show which programs those were. Can you?

Here: this is deficit spending that contributes to our debt. Obama's policies through 2017 only cost $1.44 trillion - and a lot of that is paid for, not debt.

25.9 trillion. christ. and when interest goes up, all our debt payments will have to increase.
but all the pols are acting like interest will remain low forever. that's hope, not proper planning.
