Yes, Rude - but Obama didn't
cause that debt, nor incur that debt - it's just the ongoing interest and debt from previous years. It would be that high if McCain were president.
Do you not understand that?
Again -
Obama has not raised the national debt by starting programs that added $5 trillion to our national debt. If that were true, you would be able to show which programs those were. Can you?
Here: this is deficit spending that contributes to our debt.
Obama's policies through 2017 only cost $1.44 trillion - and a lot of that is paid for, not debt.
