“Do you know what the national debt actually is?”

Yes. Do you?

I guess expanding government is fine with you if your side is the one doing it.

Yes I do. National debt includes entitlement programs the are ever expanding on their own. It's hard to credit or discredit Bush for SS, Medicare, and Medicaid.

I never said that so don't assume it, okay! I asked you if you understodd the national debt and how much of that Bush contributed to. Bush spent about $1.8 trillion in budget deficit in his 8 years. Obama spent $1.4 trillion his first year. Big difference. The last Republican Congress budget was fiscal 2007 which only had a $160 billion dollar deficit and the trend was decreasing.
