Where were the fiscal conservatives before Obama?
Where were you just a couple years ago, when Bush II added $5.1 trillion to the federal debt over his two terms?
Or when Reagan and Bush I more than tripled the national debt, adding over $3 trillion during the 80s and early 90s?
In 1981, the federal debt was around $994 billion. When Bush II left office it was over $10.7 trillion!
If you do the math, that means over $9.7 trillion was added to our debt between 1982 and 2008. Three Republican presidents were responsible for over 85% of that total. And NOW they want you to believe them? Too funny.
