Hmm, that's probably cherry picking some aspect of the situation, possibly even the wars which weren't included in bush's budget. It CERTAINLY doesn't include the FY2009 budget which was effectively bush's and included a trillion or so in extra deficit. Remember, the gov't likes to pull tricks like not including wars in the budget and not counting the complete debt, instead focusing on the public portion of the debt.

On the day President Bush took office, the national debt stood at $5.727 trillion. The latest number from the Treasury Department shows the national debt now stands at more than $9.849 trillion. That's a 71.9 percent increase on Mr. Bush's watch.
