Department of Budget and Management
Remember, "National Debt" is different than "National Deficit" when some moron tries to tell you "Yea, well Clinton had a surplus when he left office and Bush destroyed it."
The next time some out of touch liberal comes at you with fake news on how Trump is fiscally irresponsible and raises the debt ceiling, remind them nobody does it like Obama's ol' gubment-loving arse.

Just because Obama was worse doesn't mean Trump isn't also guilty of it.

Andy Jackson paid off the national debt before he left office iirc

Its ok because everyone does it. Great argument.

I'm confused are we against debt or for debt? The OP is criticizing Obama for adding to the debt but defending Trump who is adding to the debt at the same pace in a good economy.

Since Reagan:
Reagan added 1.86 trillion an increase of 186%
HW added 2.9 trillion (in four years) an increase of 54%
Clinton added 1.9 trillion an increase of 32%
W added 5.9 trillion an increase of 101%
Obama added 8.6 trillion an increase of 74%
If Trump is a two-term president he will most likely surpass Obama's total since in just two years the debt has increased by 2 trillion.
Bottom line...neither party has shown any measure of fiscal restraint in our lifetime and we'll pay for it eventually.

Every successive president will add more if nothing is done.
Do you understand the concept of interest?

You realize it is very possible that Trump will surpass Obama, right? If we keep up this pace

to be fair, way back then the entire national debt was probably something like just a few thousands dollars

There is almost 100% certainty he does. Trump did all this during an economic boom. Its unreal how much he has spent in 2 years and will on get worse.

We're going to have to go to war with China just to absolve the debt Obama ran up.

Setting the bar pretty low, huh

It’s amazing.
Trump has liberals worried about fiscal responsibility.
Where this man’s concerned, you guys don’t know whether to scratch your watches or wind your asses. It’s truly a sight to behold.
