How Much Did Obama Add to the Nation's Debt?
The U.S. debt increased $9 trillion during the eight years Obama was in office. The ARRA and increased military spending added the most.
That $22 trillion national debt number is huge, but here's what it really means
National debt for the first time passed $22 trillion this week — a scary number that really doesn't pose much of a threat now but threatens to in the future.

Jan 31, 2018 · During the 2016 GOP debates, the fiscal situation came up far less often than it did in 2012, and with far less urgency too. The Senate Budget Committee held no dedicated hearings on the debt, the deficit, fiscal stability, or balanced budgets in 2017, unlike in many years past.

Jan 15, 2018 · Republicans use a sound bite that the federal debt doubled under Obama. In looking at the numbers that is close to being numerically correct but falls short of being 100%. However when you take into account the Great Recession, making W. Bush’s temporary tax cuts permanent,...
So 9 trillion under Obama doesnt count.

Immigration reversal as deportations top border arrests

point the finger all you want...facts are...EVERY ONE of your fucking republicans increased the debit......every one of dems brought it down.....even after the recession the right handed Obama..he still cut it in half....check the facts I posted them ….but then you ate only interested in what mom Russia tells you to post and have no real clue as to what the facts are
you can't understand facts and just can't see what you don't want to see...……..Russia tells you what to see and think ….so any numbers I post just goes right over your head
Ok, Einstein, go back and look at what was going on when Obama took the Presidency. Admit, if you can possibly do that, that the nation was just one small step from crashing into its second Great Depression ... and try, if you can manage, to understand the difference between a Great Depression and a Great Recession ... I know this MIGHT require you to go READ something. Then, toss your MAGA cap, and put on your "sensitivity" cap ... I know it probably won't fit your enormous attitude & ego, but detach the size band on the back of the cap and put it on anyway, ok?
Now, lets propose you are the great, incredible, knows everything, can-do-anything TRUMP, and tell us exactly what YOU would have done differently with the US economy if you took office? Try to imagine, if possible, that EVERYTHING happening to others would also impact YOU as well ... your pensions, your stocks, savings, your health care, your pay, loans & debts, even cuts to your service staff. Also realize that almost 800,000 workers were losing their jobs EVERY MONTH as you scramble to make decisions.
Remember when the party TOOK OFFICE from Clinton and how there was no "deficit spending", how ******* didn't stink at that time, how everyone seemed to have a chicken in a pot ... then your party came up with the great idea that "tax cuts pay for themselves, etc etc etc" ... and in eight short years the entire country was collapsing all around you, and they HANDED the responsibility of FIXING IT to YOU ... please, please share your Monday morning quarterbacking and tell us how YOU would have fixed everything and not increase the Nat'l Debt and still give yourself a big TAX CUT to you and your friends.
Then let's suppose YOU made it through the first term and deficit spending went to a TRILLION a year as YOU and every one of your RICH FRIENDS continued to get BIG BONUSES, and think of the POOR PEOPLE you intend to FUCK and cut survival benefits so YOU and your RICH FRIENDS can continue enjoying your HUGE BONUES and checks from investments and tax cuts that continue "paying for themselves".
Please tell us, ohhhhh Great blkdlaur, how you would run everything, ok?
We're anxiously waiting for your "full of crap", incomplete, and not thought out response to Obama's efforts to save the country from Depression while the other party continued trying to MAKE HIM FAIL.
We're ALL EARS ....

You have nothing but propaganda
and YOU have NOTHING at all ... not even a
It seems that Trump has added about $3 trillion dollars to the national debt though I keep hearing others say that President Obama added plenty more than Trump, which is TRUE! But, think about this though, when President Clinton was in office, the country had a SURPLUS! Now, you want to know what happened to that surplus? Well, when President Clinton left office, that surplus of money that the country had, WHICH meant the country wasn't in DEBT at that time, WHEN the Bush family came into office, that SURPLUS of money was SPENT quickly by the Republicans, of course! Now, when President George W. Bush leaves office, the country is in a very BAD Recession, which President Obama has to get the country OUT OF because of BAD CHOICES by the Republican Party, period! So, therefore, President Obama has to add a Bailout to the banks and companies that were irresponsible in THEIR finances as well as the GOVERNMENT! Now, if President Obama had not done what he did, the ECONOMY would NOT be where it is TODAY, period! It was ALOT of work that President Obama had to do because of the Republican Party's HORRIBLE knowledge about FINANCES! It never fails that whenever the Republican Party FUCKS UP, then the Democratic Party has to come behind them to clean up THEIR mess like a Parent cleaning up after a TODDLER! So, truthfully, this country WOULDN'T be in debt IF the Republican Party were WISE and weren't DUMBASSES when it comes to MONEY! Real talk though, and I know the Republicans wouldn't be a FAN of this, BUT if the Presidential race was DICTATED STRICTLY through the POPULAR VOTE, the Republican Party would NEVER WIN! *******, I would be COOL with that because AT LEAST, for a FACT, the country wouldn't be IN DEBT right NOW if it wasn't for the RIGHT making BAD CHOICES!

The national debt just barreled past $23 trillion. Here's how Trump's $3 trillion portion compares to Obama, Bush, and Clinton.
The pace at which Trump has added to the national debt isn't as surprising as it might initially look.

In a word - - - deflection.
National Debt was the topic of discussion.
I liked Bill Clinton as a president and his fiscal responsibility by the way.
The 5 US presidents who won the election but lost the popular vote
John Q. Adams – the election of 1824
Rutherford B. Hayes – the election of 1876
Benjamin Harrison – the election of 1888
George W. Bush – the election of 2000
Donald Trump – the election of 2016
This fact about the last 7 US elections will make you think
Last year’s presidential vote took Donald Trump to the White House. Compare this win to the six before him and you’ll notice something interesting.
If you pay attention to American politics, you will know that while Donald Trump won the presidency, thanks to winning a majority of electoral college votes, he failed to win the popular vote. Hillary Clinton won that. Sixteen years earlier, the same thing happened to George Bush. He too won the most electoral college votes, but lost out on the popular vote.
Looking at these two elections, as well as the five others since 1992 there is one striking fact.
While three of the last seven presidential elections were won by Republicans, on six out of the last seven votes, a Democrat won the popular vote share.
In 1992, Democrat Bill Clinton won the presidency with the highest number of electoral college votes, as well as the popular vote. In 1996, he did repeated the feat.
Four years after that in 2000, Republican George Bush won the presidency, but lost the popular vote to Al Gore. In 2004, Bush managed to win in both arenas, marking the only Republican win in terms of popular vote in the last two and a half decades.
Then, in 2008 and 2012, Barack Obama won both the popular votes and both electoral college contests. Four years later, Republican Trump won the electoral college vote, but not the popular vote.
In six out of the last seven elections, the Democrats have won the popular vote. This is a striking fact, but the popular vote counts for nothing in a presidential election.
In fact, when critics pointed out Trump’s popular vote loss in 2016, he hit back by saying if it had been a popular vote election he would have campaigned differently. Much like if the UK had a more proportional voting system, campaigning in marginal seats would undoubtedly no longer be the focus.
There is no way of telling if Trump would have won had he done this, but different rules make players act differently so it is entirely possible.

Through the Presidents that have been Republican elected, I DON'T know why MOST of them were inept when it comes to controlling the money of the country! As what you posted regarding the debt of the country, @subhub174014, that was very informative! I have read several articles about how rising debt would hurt the country though, for some reason, NOTHING has been done about it! Everything sure was a lot better when we had that SURPLUS though, but as my friend told me, "You might as well KISS that surplus GOODBYE when a Republican gets in office!" This country has been in the RED for so many years and counting! You can tell that ******* is bad when the United States had their AAA credit rating DOWNGRADED! Smh!
Factual information:
Bush 43: Took it from zero to $1.2 trillion
Obama: Halved it to $600 billion
Trump: Has gotten it back to a trillion
Wow, look at those FACTS, my Republicans! Cannot whine about that, LOL!
