Yes sir it is easy to find data but why would you believe anything the government produced?... You seem to think B.O. is in control of every aspect of it.. Doesn't your news sources give you any data that you believe?....
I think maybe the "more debt in 5 years than all previous presidents combined" came from one of those right wing sources because it always comes from a right wingnut who doesn't bother to pick up a calculator, I could be wrong because I would rather hear from somebody who at least cares what the truth is...

GOOD FREAKIN GAWD...........

You're unbelievable..............

How about the Washington Post:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/...national-debt/

Debt increase* End-of-term GDP* Percentage

Reagan $1,873 $8,850 21%

GHW Bush 1,484 $9,410 16%

Clinton 1,268 $12,680 12%

GW Bush 4,899 $14,580 34%

Obama 7,198 $16,160 44%

(*in billions)

All of us were here in 1970, the life expectancy in that year was for a male was 68 yrs old. In 2010 that number went to 76.8, Wont go into population increase, but a lot of things that killed us are now treatable.There are all kinds of figures that we can look at, for any reason. So that leads me to the old adage "figures don't lie, liars figure". So what does all of this mean? If you want to back in time to the "good ole days", lets start at 1940, you guys weren't here then. If things became "poopy" since then, ITS ALL YER FAULT!

If I'm understanding your point, and I'm not sure I am, All debt doesn't matter, just the debt that doesn't fit within your GDP parameters so if that's true, then the debt clock which stands at 18T is erroneous, 8.something T republican debt should not be included in that yet when you guys quoth the debt you use that number as if it does matter when you are demonizing democratic administrations... Debt matters or it doesn't, surely you can make up your minds one way or the other...

all debt matters. W spent money like a democrat but he was reacting to 911. not saying that was an excuse, just why he spent it. but, without W, you would never have gotten O elected.

So who spent money like Reagan?.. was there somebody in the past you could equate that to?

he has added more debt in 5 years than all the president put together

Odd how the right wing buys just any BS the fox news fantasies are selling...

Debt when BO took office..... 10T
Present debt........................18T

If you will sir explain just how 18T is double 10T and I believe that is after 6 years... Right wing nuts have been buying this fantasy for a couple years... do you not have the resources to multiply 10x2...

Now if you multiply the last pos president we had you will be fairly close to a double..

Please show me where I said he doubled the debt??? What I said was he has added more debt in 5 years than all presidents. the debt was 8.5 trillion when he took office in five years he added 8.5 trillion,so he has added as much debt in 5 years as all presidents before him.

So much interest in a 13 minute segment. So I looked at Forbes, and while it's interesting, theres a lot more to the story, that wasn't covered. Behind every silver lining, theres a black cloud.
