All are rising steadily.

**EDITED TO ADD**
(DonDiego posted the above to capture the National Debt figure as he typed it; it moves very fast !

For the record the National Debt upon The Obama's assumption of the Presidency was $10,626,877,048,913.

The man who managed the 2009 budget - obama...
Actually George W. Bush signed off on both the federal budget and the tax rates for that year. If that ain't managing it, I'm not sure what is.

But I'll bite. For 2009, the last Bush budget, what could Obama have done to lower the deficit substantially? (We all know what he could have done in subsequent years, because he apparently did it, didn't he?)
There was one man who had the power to stop the massive deficit in 2009, and that's Barack Obama. $8 trillion, and $83,000 per taxpayer in Obama debt. He owns it.

And see that monster deficit in 2009. The president who signed the federal budget* for that year: George W. Bush.


*Of course anyone blaming the federal budget for the huge deficit that year is a nitwit. The driver of the deficit for that and the next few was obviously the Great Recession of 2007.

After Congress passed the budget and President George W. Bush signed it? Just how was he supposed to do that?


Executive order. He owns it.
