Obama never created a surplus. (More has been added to the deficit in his 4.5 years than under any president in history and he still has 3.5 years to go) Clinton had a balanced budget for 2 years of his 8 year presidency. Republicans in Congress forced Clinton to do so even though he was kicking and screaming. (In comparison Bush had 1 year out of 8 with a balanced budget....neither are really anything to brag about) Even Clinton 's 2 years of balanced budgets weren't really balanced because they raided Social Security (that is why Gore later made the "LockBox" promise) When Clinton was leaving office a recession hit. LIttle know fact because W. Bush didn't whine and complain about it.
Also....comparing Reagan to Obama......
Here are numbers. They don't lie (like you)
Obama has added $5.5 trillion to the national debt in his 1st term (Smashing every record by far....this is terrible) |
What did Carter inherited?
