Not really wonderful being a Democrat actually as the Republicans have moved so far to the right the Democratic party moved along with them. Now the Democratic party is where the regular Republicans were 40 years ago and the Republican party is flirting with Fascism.
As far as the debt is concerned, sure, there is more debt, but honestly he put the Iraq and Afghanistan wars on the books, something the last administration hid with 'emergency' funding year after year that they kept off the official tally. That bumped the debt up by a couple trillion immediately. Another one of those pesky facts.
Yeah, he put the war on the books. But, what war? He promised to pull all the troops and bring them home. In reality, we are no better off now than we were under Bush - in many instances, much worse. Our military people are still dying every day and now we are committed in Libya. Geez.....whatever happened to bringing our troops home and letting other countries take care of themselves.
And, the war was on the "books" before because we were still paying for it. To think the money being spent on war during Bush didn't count towards debt spending is naive. HD was right - math is so not you......
I know you're not happy here on this forum - you've never been too happy here. I'm not sure why you bother to come here because you are always wrong with just about everything you post. You've drank so much of the Koolaid that you have no idea where reality ends and fantasy starts.
I think you're better off going to some of those other boards where you'll be happy.
