Clinton had the private debt bubble, (Credit card debt explosion) as well as the dot-com bubble etc. which of course blew up in Bush's face. Are you too young to remember this?
Really funny how you analysis USED to be how things that happened under Bush were his fault and not the buck passed by Clinton but now....Obama is just dealing with Bush's stuff. LMAO.
Doesn't mean that Bush wasn't horrible and the wars etc. but seriously, the shifting metrics of what counts and then oh wait....doesn't count is laughably hypocritical.
This thread is an exercise in the political intellectual stupidity syndrome.
0bama took the one time emergency spending measures during a financial crisis, and made it the new norm, and rolled it into every annual federal spending for his entire presidency. Only a freaking moron would continue posting this lunacy from the OP.
Even with 0bama's $6 trillion in new debt over four years, what did it buy us? Nothing, not a damn thing, all we have to show is 1.3% GDP growth, 43 months of 8% unemployment, and 15 million new poor.
Anyone who can do basic math knows this does not add up to a 16 trillion dollar debt given he inherited an 8 trillion dollar debt.
No, it doesn't, because even if spending decreased, the debt can increase if revenues decrease. He didn't inherit 8T debt though, it was more like 11T.

So you forget that we have a Congress full of cynical repubs trying to tank the economy for their own political gain - yet you complain about the economy. This right-wing deceit is mind-boggling.
Do you realize that attempting destruction of the country for political gain is treason - and the right-wing supports it? Shame.
You complain about 8% unemployment rate while repubs gave us 10% and are now killing jobs bills? Really, what are you righties attempting to do?

You forget that the voters elected congress as representatives. More than half of America doesn't subscribe to the liberal's deficit spending policies. Welcome to democracy.

No I didn't forget that at all, and I would have commented on it if I ran across the subject.
* First of all, it is the republican corporate right which hates democracy and the lower class vote.
* No republican should complain about deficit spending, when they did most of it. You're repeating the lie that republicans are against spending. This is dishonest, yet you repeat it over and over.
Dick Cheney quote: "You know, Paul, Reagan proved that deficits don't matter. We won the mid-term elections, this is our due". National Debt Graph by President
* Many seem to have voted for congressional gridlock and continued republican obstructionism. Do you deny this exists? So the remaining question is who and why. I won't bother to research that.
* You are aware, of course, that Democrats gained seats in Congress, and ousted some teabagger republicans. Doesn't that tell you anything?
So this all leaves another question - who are you listening to?
