according to the treasury department of the government at their website: treasurydirect.gov Under Bush debt went from $5.7T to $11.2T = $5.5T Under Obama debt went from $11.2T to $17.0T (and counting) = $5.8T Strictly by the numbers, 5.8 > 5.2 . . . but in much less time! Approximately same debt added in half the time = exponential. Under Bush, most of that debt increase was defending our country . . . under Obama, there was a lot defending our country, but much more on other programs. BUT, that is just a matter of opinion of which programs are "worthy" . . SO . . . we'll just stick with the plain, straight, factual numbers. Approximately same debt added in half the time = exponential. Nothing to argue . . . just the facts.
