Uhm....and the 8 year of wars have been paid how again?

Maybe if we expand the disaster aid to trillions, the GOP will be for it because they tend to like expanding the USA's debt by the trillions. That's how they roll.
What is funny is how the left decries the Bush debt but, doesn't dare say one word about how Obama quadrupled it in such a short time.
By the way, under Bush the debt was decreasing until 2008.
No, actually the debt had increased some 5 trillion between Bush taking office and 2008.
Thank you. My error. I meant to type deficit.
I have read 4 trillion not 5
