How do you know when it's really cold in DC? -> Democrats have hands in their own pockets.

Obama spends away, nothing to show for it, and future generations will work the rest of their lives just to pay interest on this outrageous sum of money.

Worst President Ever.

Come on! We ALL know he used his time machine to enact the bush tax cuts for the wealthy (soon to be followed by Trumps).

And worst of all he took the costs of the wars started under Bush and put them into the budget!

Seriously these 2 have been a major portion of it.

He did proceed to drop the deficit year after year. Now of course Trump will stop caring about deficits. He will cut taxes and increase spending.

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!

Something about running two wars off the books while upping Medicare pharmacy benefits without a plan to pay for the increased costs will do that.

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.

Democrats have gotten too good at spending our hard earned money. Now they are moving on to the money that we have not even had a chance to earn yet. What happens when they run out of future generation's unearned money?

Waldo, every time you post this nonsense, you lose a little more credibility. Get your facts straight before you start spouting "facts."

As others have already pointed out this mess was inherited and not created by BO. The deficit has actually been decreasing as a percentage of GDP for the past several years and was on trend to continue to do so in the future.

Since Trump is planning on massive tax cuts for his rich wall street and corporate friends, and boosting military spending, you tell me how he is going to cut the deficit in the future? I'll be waiting for this strategy as well as the release of his tax returns.

They'll be paying even more for the greater debt Dubya racked up. But you're oddly unconcerned about that.
