18 Trillion

If our LAST Presidential Administration had an ounce of fiscal common sense, we wouldn't have an $18T debt...but you and the rest of the moron crew can't/won't see that. The Great Recession had nothing to do with our current debt level either...

The current deficit to GDP ratio is lower than it was at any time during the last Presidential Administration.

Well, what does it have to do with the Obama admin?

Bush doubled the debt on his watch. Obama is working on it. Debt to GDP is usually considered a fair barometer. It is better under Obama, clearly.

Debt isn't even the question. Debt is fine if it promotes the general welfare. That hasn't much happened under either of the last two. Both of them have been awful for the middle class. Income, personal wealth, work load.

At ANY time? No, that's false. Check your numbers. It was lower at the beginning of his first term, and the middle of his second, and his average beats the tar out of Obama, even if you count 2009 as Bush's.
