(65,297 posts)7. They'll Blame That On BHO
Not being good with proportions, they like to talk about how many dollars the debt rose under BHO, but conveniently forget that it was a considerably smaller proportion of GDP than when the debt grew under Reagan and 43.
So, i don't think that answer works because they will just do the "but Obama" thing.
