oh, I see, you're using the "debt by inauguration day" metric. You know that metric never existed before President Obama. Its seems before President Obama people just used the Treasury tables broken down by budget year. Intelligent people still do. Just so you know, I didn't have to invent a metric to post my factoids. did you like my factoids. mmmmm, maybe I posted too many and it overwhelmed you.
no President was handed a 1.2 trillion dollar deficit like President Obama.
No president was handed a worse recession in the last 70 years like President Obama.
No President has reduced the deficit as much as President Obama
and again, my factoids can withstand scrutiny. Yours needed a special metric.
Sorry, but the Inauguration Day metric is the one in use throughout US history, regardless of when the Fiscal Year began/ended. The Treasury tables have other uses because they run without reference to who is in the WH. It is the Dems who have tried to introduce them into the POTUS discussion as a way to shield BHO from the consequences of his profligate policies. We have one POTUS at a time and BHO is the greatest debtor-POTUS in US history.eace
