$5 trillion added to national debt under Bush?

Politifact.com, lost ALL credibility over a year ago and the St.Pete Times, has been nothing less than a left, Liberal agenda machine for about 12 years now.

However, reading Emmanuel's "creative mathematics scenario only brings to mind the dozens of times he stepped out with White House "estimates" that were debunked. Your news source and the subject of the information, are certainly lacking in integrity and balanced reporting.

Answer: Depending again on the "creative mathematics" one wants to apply, Obama has already created more debt than Bush in 8 years and he still has 2 years to go.

Yes in two ways.

The first is Bush made no long lasting programs. Homeland Security is made up of a whole bunch of departments that existed before Bush took office. Obama wanted to keep up the fight in Afghanistan and he said that many times so that is no longer Bush's war. The draw down time happened under Bush so although there is still troops in Iraq, they are no longer combatants. Obama has his healthcare program which is projected to cost $200 billion a year for the first 10 years on average and 9% compounded after that. That alone will beat Bush's deficit within 31 years.

Second, the projected deficit by the CBO is $9.75 trillion over the next decade, but that doesn't factor in major disasters or new wars. That will push the deficit to debt to GNP ratio from 40% in 2008 to 90% in 2020. Another source says the deficit will be $9.3 trillion from 2010 to 2019. Most of that is going to be Medicare and Social Security. It's projected that in 2015 $2 trillion will be spent on Social Security and Medicare. That's a lot more expensive than two wars lasting 10 years costing $1 trillion so the liberals have nothing to whine about there.

It depends on how much it costs to fix the damage Bush did. The Republicans didn't help by insisting upon a tax cut for the wealthiest of us before they would permit an extension in Unemployment Benefits. Republicans say they want to balance the budget. But they don't really mean it. If Republicans were serious about balancing the budget, they'd start by cutting defense spending in half. We spend more on our military than every other country in the world combined. But we think they're still out to get us. Sounds a bit like paranoia if you ask me.
