In 2001, the national debt Bush inherited was around $5.7T, give or take. When Bush left office in 2009, the debt was nearly $11T. That's an increase of 89 percent. Under Obama, the debt has increased from about $11T to about $15T, about 40 percent. And what's behind that increase? The Bush tax cuts for the 1% and the worst financial crash since the 1930s (Thank you Bush).
