...constantly see the claim here? "Cumulative" debt from "All Presidents" just means the standing National Debt.
This is a right wing lie for several reasons.
FIRST, no President could possibly spend as much money as every President did "combined" especially when adjusted for inflation.

Bush and Reagan DOUBLED and TRIPLED the Debt, respectively - i.e, they LITERALLY INCREASED THE DEBT MORE THAN ALL PRESIDENTS COMBINED.
Thirdly:
Obama has increased the Debt by about 30%, from 10 trillion to 13 trillion - that's 30%, not MORE THAN ALL PRESIDENTS combined.
You guys are being lied to.
You really need to realize Fox TV is lying, while we still have a Country.
Let the excuse making and blame shifting begin.
Vorick - all the statistic really means is that Obama's Debt is now higher than Bush's, which was higher than Clinton's, which was higher than Bush I's, which was higher than....
You get the idea.
EVERY MODERN PRESIDENT has a Debt "more than all Presidents combined!!!!'
But Fox gladly allows it's viewers to believe the ridiculous lie.
Please turn off Fox, please, if you love your Country.
bmovie- Bush personally lobbied Congress SIX TIMES to increase the Debt ceiling.
The idea that the President doesn't set the agenda for Congress and the Country is another ludicrous lie from the right wing.
Reagan AND BUSH got everything they wanted from their Congresses handed to them on silver platters - their wars, their corporate tax cuts, their bank deregulation - every thing!!!!
Why? Because Democrats can work with other people, and Republicans can't.
