On the day President Bush took office, the national debt stood at $5.727 trillion. The numbers from the Treasury Department in September 2008 showed the national debt then stood at more than $9.849 trillion.

I subtracted the two. You didn't provide other data.

Since you said "on bush's watch" I toook your ending number, above, and subtracted from the obama number YOU posted.

Quote:

Right now, the debt stands at $12.759

12.759-9.849=2.91

Yeah, I rounded it up to 3.

Sorry, I didn't look the numbers up, just used what YOU posted.

Yeah I did. You just didn't investigate any of my sources.

But you didn't figure up the total increase; you didn't check any of my sources to see what they said or not. While that's a peeve, if you would have, you would have seen the final figure when he left office. I simply rounded it to $10.627 trillion (the $887,048,913.08 up).

What's with the "YOU"? I haven't done anything wrong. YOU just didn't read any of my sources to find out the information they had in them. I was simply showing the change from when he took office to September 2008, two months before the election.
