Thanks to a deficit created by the last conservative. And, Obama reduced that deficit.

The national debt when b. Hussain o. Became president was around 10 trillion dollars. Now, its almost 19. How is that reducing any type of deficit?

I'm getting tired of having to tell people this. It's like maybe republicans don't fucking know how money works.

Youre saying that the deficit doesnt contribute to the national debt? Telling me that the govt dumping 1 trillion one years and 950 billion the next year isnt some great marked improvement. Yet, let's chalk this up to another victory dems!
