us debt bush
Why do people on YA claim that Bush put us 10 trillion in debt and that Clinton had a surplus?
When Clinton left office 0n 1/20/01 there was 5.72 trillion in national debt then.
So Bush did not raise it by 10 trillion it was already 5.75 trillion when he took office. Just trying to show what really happened.

How can anyone say that Iraq caused this world wide economic mess? Thats just WRONG
In some cases it is because they are clueless. In other cases they are talking about a budget surplus rather than a national debt surplus. However, even that statement is incorrect because there never was a surplus. In order to create the appearance of a surplus they had to borrow from the SSi Trust Fund. That is not surplus it is merely creative accounting. Good luck getting Clinton supporters to admit the truth though.
