Your Economy (No Politics)

Was the debt higher or lower at the end of Obama's 8 years compared to the beginning ?

Do you think by Obama putting Bush's illegal trillion dollar wars and and his trillion dollars unfunded Medicare part D ON THE BOOKS had anything to do with that? In other words....HE BANNED BUSH'S GIMMICKS!

The unfunded liability in the new Part D program was estimated at the time to be $17 trillion. (All estimates by the Social Security and Medicare Trustees.) https://www.forbes.com/sites/johngoodman/2016/07/06/the-worst-entitlement-program-in-our-history/#4bcf90fc2032

In other words, Bush was elected in part on the promise to solve a huge entitlements problem. But by the time he left office he had more than doubled the size of the problem.
