Simple facts folks. Look these up anywhere...

1. Bush added $7 trillion to the National Debt in eight years. He came in when it was at $5 trillion, and left in January 2009, when the Debt was at $12 trillion. (By the way, in billions, that's $7,000 billion, the Republicans added).

2. Bush gave Obama on day 1, a record $1.3 trillion (annual) Deficit. Deficits are usually on the order of $350-400 billion. What the Republicans did, was give Obama the equivalent of a $1,300 billion deficit.

3. Add the total in 1, to 2. That equals more than $8,000 billion that the Republicans spent over budget folks. And that does not account for the 2 failed Bush wars, all off budget, which costs $6 billion a month, by the GAO numbers, and the $17 trillion (with a T), lost in the Stock Market in the aftermath of the "2008 Bush Recession and Stock Market Collapse."

4. Jobless? Did you lose your job in the 2008 Great Bush Recession too? You can add that to the pile, along with the hundreds of bank failures, and whatever money you lost in the market.

Stupid is as stupid does. And the Republicans are fiscally insane.

5. Finally, when Obama came in, the National Debt was at $12 trillion. It is now at $13.9 trillion. That is an addition of $1.9 trillion. And Obama HAD to spend a trillion, openly admitting he had to do it to all Americans, to stop the Bush Recession, he inherited, from becoming a Bush Depression.

Can you deal with facts, Jared? Probably not.
