Why can't I hate Bush and Obama for being money wasting war criminals utterly contemptuous of civil liberties and thinking the executive branch is the only branch?
Remember back in the 1990's, when deficits mattered, and the federal government made good progress at reducing the deficit? So good that there were papers being floated in Washington about how paying off the entire Federal debt might be bad for the economy because could potentially remove T-Bills from the world's investment portfolio? Surely you remember, right?
Remember when January 20, 2001 rolled around, and all of a sudden deficits didn't matter, and we could afford generous tax cuts for high income earners and could put two foreign wars and a federal prescription drug benefit for retirees on the national credit card? And how none of it mattered until 2007 when the Republicans lost control of Congress? Remember that?
Just wait - by 2017, with the Republicans in firm control of all three branches of the federal government, deficits won't matter again.
Bush II added 101% to the national debt. Why aren't you skwawking about that?
Don't pretend you didn't know. Those wars he started (that Obama got saddled with) were extremely expensive, not to mention: his tax cuts for the wealthy--a deadly combination guaranteed to trash even the healthiest economy.
Worst President ever!
Obama had a lot of supporters to pay off that got him elected. From Wall Street bankers to main street illegals that voted for him in 2 elections. But don't worry liberals, your great grand children will be paying for this debt also.
But But Trump is gonna fix it all, if he doesn't Your grandchildren will also be paying for the debt. FYI the purse strings are controlled by Congress, remind me again, who has been running Congress?

President Trump already said they wouldnt remember. He said If Obama had made progress by running it up, it wouldnt matter. In an interview, he likened it to buying a good decent house that you would live in for the rest of your life.
To be clear, I actually agree with his argument, disagree on who he blaming for it.
They'll be paying even more for the greater debt Dubya racked up. But you're oddly unconcerned about that.
They both earned failing grades in my book for running up the debt.
