Another graphic displaying the debt increases over the last five presidents.
Did you post this for laughs or are you serious? That is one of the most painful cooked number comparisons I have ever seen.
Look honey, we can upgrade the kitchen, it will only cost 1/3rd the houses entire value! Don't worry though, the guy before us renovated the living room at 1/4th of the house's
previous value!
Debt = 1.0
Regan - 1.0* 1.89 = 1.89 total gain = .89 (8 years)
Bush - 1.89*1.55 = 2.92 total gain = 1.04 (4 years)
Clinton - 2.92*1.37 = 4.04 total gain = 1.084 (8 years)
Bush - 4.04*1.86 = 7.51 total gain = 3.47 (8 years)
Obama - 7.51*1.35 = 10.13 total gain = 2.62 (4 years)
Obama is on track to spend roughly 1.66 times as much money as bush over an equal amount of time.
Edit: didn't realize that info was from 2 years ago, Obama is on track to spend over 3x as much money as bush over the same time period. Congrats Obama!
