Obviously, George Bush was Prez for most of the recent debt. Gloryosky, Batman. But wait..... that was for 2 full terms and included a significant reduction in taxes.

Let's prorate Obama's number for 8 years. I make it about 8.5 trillion based upon the last 27 months. Don't forget, he planned to increase the rate of spending, significantly, but was shot down by 97 Senators. Who knows what the number would be if given his way?

This diagram is overly simplistic and designed to make Bush look bad and Obama heroic by comparison. It's totally comedic.

But wait.....surely the Tea Party must have had an effect on the deficit spending. They're blamed for everything else by the Dems. OK...OK.... I make it about $1.49.
