We know you are not a smart person so why don't you tell us what drove up that debt? Try doing some research and start counting from Oct 1st 2009 for Obama as prior to that was Bush's budget. Remember to count the wars and Medicare part B and the ongoing interest for Bush's part of the debt. If you have at least a 7th or 8th grade education you will then realize that Raygun and the two Bush's are responsible for about 13 trillion of the 18 trillion. But then I'm doubting you reached the 7th grade.
