Who increased the nation's debt more Bush or Obama?

Bush. For some reason, the childish neo-cons think that a president's malfeasance ends on the last day of office. Bush broke the economy and broke it good.

TARP was done by Bush and put on Obama's tab.

Add to that the fact that he put UNDER THE TABLE SPENDING on Medicare Part D AND the Wars back ON THE TABLE (and the books), then you get a fairer look at how much Obama wasn't responsible for.

I believe that Bush did. I can't see the two wars that he got us in coming cheap. The bottom line is all has spent money in places that it did belong.

Kind of unfair question considering Obama spent his first two years paying off all the debts that Bush left on the table, not to mention two wars and a recession.

Bush by 4 trillion more at this point. The last year of the Bush presidency the deficit was 1.2 trillion dollars. Every one thinks that spending has increased while forgetting that revenue has fallen by one trillion dollars per year.

Bush-he stated TWO wars and created the policies that are still to this day adding to our debt resulting in it looking like Obama added to the debt although it WAS in FACT bush.

currently it's Bush, but he did that over eight years. Obama has increased the debt almost as much in 2.5 years and is on track to increase it an additional $6 trillion.

bush...remember, @ 85% of the debt that Obama is dealing with was implemented by GW Bush (revenue cuts, wars, medicare part d, etc., etc.). A big chunk of the remaining debt was due to the economic collapse...

Obama

President Bush tripled the national debt in EIGHT YEARS.

President Obama tripled the national debt in SIX MONTHS.

Do the math.
