I know it's the right wing's specialty to just dodge and deflect, but again, where is the op's post inaccurate?

The Red and Blue Farce is known as the .. "Who Increased The Debt?" Chart and was created by none other than Nancy Pelosi and her fellow Rats!

It's been discredited any number of times even though morons continue to circulate it as shown.

Hey .. I have an idea for all the brain dead, Pelosi and Obama butt lickers .. do some research of your own instead of parroting your precious leaders (who .. btw .. could give a Rats @$* about you) outside of your dumbed down vote!


It’s really simple to figure out who is exploding the debt in this country. Just plug in the dates from the Treasury.gov website.

The national debt the day GW Bush took office: 5.7T

The debt when the Democrats took over Congress in 2007 with a super majority: 8.6T

* 2.9T after 6 years of big spending Bush.

The debt figure after two years of Dem control and the day Obama took office: 10.6T

* 2.0T increase in just TWO YEARS!

The national debt presently: 15.2 TRILLION!!!

Another look ..
Reagan: Up 14.9 percentage points
George H.W. Bush: Up 7.1 percentage points
Clinton: Down 13.4 percentage points
George W. Bush: Up 5.6 percentage points
Obama: Up 21.9 percentage points (through December 2010 only)

7.4 TRILLION DOLLARS OF DEBT RACKED UP SINCE THIS COUNTRY WAS DUMB ENOUGH TO PUT DEMOCRATS IN CHARGE!!!!

If I have insulted some morons .. again .. I have done my job and can retire for the evening!
PolitiFact | Nancy Pelosi posts questionable chart on debt accumulation by Barack Obama, predecessors
I figured when I saw the fine print under the graph that it was probably a propaganda piece.

what do you not understand about the difference between 10.5ish tril versus over 15 trillion in debt now?!?!?!

All in three years versus eight under the previous admin?!?!?!

Do you not understand simple math?

Who's to blame? WE are.

And if we are so unfortunate to have Obama for four more years, a flat line projection to the end of his 2nd term would put the debt at $23.5 trillion......a $13 trillion increase, or 130% over eight years. And a flat line projection is overly optimistic.

A Dem starting a thread about federal debt is about as dumb as kicking a grisly bear in the nuts.

The dem stance is that we can just raise taxes..... How is that working out for Illinois? (66% increase in tax and losing businesses to neighboring stateS)

Liberal math.

The numertor is more important than the denominator.

Let's make it very simple. Comparing two years debt to eight years debt would be like comparing the Patriots score after one quarter to the Giants score after four quarters in the Superbowl.

See, it just doesn't make sense.

Libs do not understand simple math- that is part of the problem.
