“Don’t it always seem to go
You don’t know what you’ve got ‘til it’s gone?”
Bush wasn’t perfect by a long shot, but he beats all heck out of Barack Obama.
For those keeping track, the debt estimate for the end of 2010 — two years into Obama’s term — is $13.787 trillion. That’s a 38 percent increase over two years.
Looked at another way, the debt under Bush went up $4.357 trillion over eight years, while it has gone up under Obama by $3.801 trillion in just two years.
