Hey, Joey? Hey, ARyan? No offense, but you guys are really looking clueless here. Perhaps you are simply unable to understand this?
For the third time, concentrate really hard here, and try to understand this reality:
NOBODY IS SAYING THE DEFICT HASN'T GONE UP!
Only pointing out that Obama has NOT
caused a $5 trillion dollar increase. That is not true.
Obama's polices did NOT cause that debt increase. Obama has NOT added "$5 trillion to the deficit and debt" by his policies. That is false.
Obama's policies cost us $1.4 trillion through 2016.
Our paying interest, and basic costs, still,
on policies from previous administrations still cost us money,
we are still paying for them, we are still compounding interest on them.
Yes, the debt has gone up.
The debt would continue to go up, no matter who was president. Why?
Because the interest on the debt compounds, and policies created under
previous administrations, that were not paid for, continue to be unfunded and cost us money.
Are you guys really incapable of understanding this most basic concept about how money works?
Bush cost us trillions in unfunded wars, the cost of those wars extending out approximately 20 years well past his presidency. WE ARE STILL PAYING FOR THAT, WITH COMPOUNDING INTEREST! That is NOT the current administrations' fault.
Can you understand that concept?
The ongoing over-time cost of Bushes' wars, and unfunded tax cuts, did not magically stop the day he flew home to Crawford. Can you two not understand that?
Try this for help:
And see this for what has created that ongoing debt - hint, it wasn't the current President. If you want to know why the debt has increased another $5 trillion, put it in the lap of the right person, and stop trying to falsely blame it on someone else.
