Interesting portrayal of false information. Bush raised the debt by about 5 trillion between FY2001 and FY2009, which was affected by the FY2009 budget starting Oct. 2008. The last Bush deficit with a republican house was 161 billion in FY2007. Beginning with FY2008 and including FY2009, the total deficit for the 2 years was 1.8 trillion with a democrat house. 1.8 trillion from 5 trillion equals 3.2 trillion. The total addition to the debt that has been caused by democrats totals 11.7 trillion, with help from Bush. The democrats have accomplished this feat in only 8 years, while Bush and the republicans only increased the debt about 5 trillion in 8 years, the last 2 years with huge spending by a democrat house and help from Bush.
