Obama doubled the National debt during his eight years adding 9 trillion.

The difference is...the people got nothing.

...

Yep. On a percentage basis it was much worse under Obama and the economy didn’t grow.

Having said that, economic growth and productivity are much more important than debt.

The United States has had a few instances of severe debt during its history and we still managed to develop into world’s lone superpower.

True, but when you're in recession or a weak economy is when you expect to have deficits.

We've ramped up the annual deficit to $1T while enjoying the best economy since man learned to count (supposedly).
