>> Congress forced Bush to put the wars ON BUDGET! Then, the TARP and the rest of the bailouts from the Bush Great Recession.

Yes, there are all kinds of excuses. The bottom line?

Obama's National Debt Impact

Upon Inauguration: $10,626,877,048,913
As of Apr 14, 2011: $14,270,792,119,185
In 2.2 yrs Increased: $3,643,915,070,272
George Bush (8yrs): $4,899,100,310,609

Obama, in less than 3 years, will have increased the national debt by as much as GWB did in 8 years.

There really isn't any more to say.

Wait, you mean if you don't "put things on budget" you don't have to borrow money to pay for them? Think before you make stuff up.
