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.
