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

The national debt presently: 15.2 TRILLION!!!
