We're worse off when the current President completely ignores the situation that you described....... The brakes could have been applied at the beginning of Obama's term but he ignored his own debt rhetoric and invented a healthcare mandate out of thin air that ate up almost his entire term and blew countless billions (which are still being wasted), on a program that better than half of America wants removed........... A president that operates like that shouldn't be voted out of the WH, he should be run out of DC on a rail........ Bill O might be ignorant of some things but at least he admits it to his audience and himself. Obama harbors no such doubts and narcissistically knows that he's the smartest guy in the room..... Not only is he not the smartest guy in the room but he's got no idea how to relate a message to the American people...... He's got no idea how capitalism works being that in all his schooling, there just wasn't time between smoking crack and studying Marxism............ Give him another term and you can forget about your A and B bull, save yourself some time and just jump to Z!

So if interest rates on federal borrowing go from say 4% to ay 8% are we better off because Obama never found a wasteful spending program he didn't want to expand? Are we better off because every year there will be an additional $240 Billion in interest expense at the higher rate on just the Obama borrowing instead of just $240 Billion per year? So please explain to us mere mortals how an additional half trillion dollars per year ($240B + $240B ~= $.5T) in interest due to Obamanomics is helping us. This assumes only $6 Trillion in new Obama borrowing. So if President Bush 43 was unpatriotic according to Obama for running up a few Trillion in new borrowing over eight years how is Obama anything but unpatriotic for doing it at four times the rate? Of course President George W. Bush inherited the Clinton recession just like Obama inherited a recession caused by the massive two step increase in minimum wages. Then just as the Clinton recession started to ease 911 knocked the economy down. So for partisans to whine that it was all Bush's fault is rather childish and an attempt at being self serving.
