While I am no huge fan of Obama. He did like bombing places, but not boots on the ground war. Money was spent, much of it in the US. And and think he was ok with some taxcuts. Now lets compare to the typical Republican administration. Do a boots on the ground war, maybe two. Cut taxes, much for the very well off. And don't forget increase defense spending. George W financed those wars off the books, recall that aluminium tubes thing, Obama put those wars on the books.
Trump is two out of three so far on the cutting taxes and increasing defense spending, great start for someone who ran as a populist who is all about change.
And don't forget, complain about deficits when the Democrats are in office, rinse, wash, repeat. Because deficits for wars are good, but spending in the US isn't. And taxcuts for the rich because trickle down economics works!

Well, no one (other than other liberals) ever accused liberals of being smart.

I had to Google the seven wars. He did indeed bomb seven countries. Pakistan, Somalia, Yemen, Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq and Libya if anyone cares.

Debt is a problem when you are paying insane interest on it (think credit card debt).

Debt is acceptable when the interest of that debt is less than the vale of investing that into economic growth (think mortgage).

The amount of debt is one aspect of a multi-layered economic policy.

Iraq and Afghanistan are the only ones that are/were wars. Paltry airstrikes and special forces raids don't constitute a war. Stop being sensationalist.

10,000,000,000,000 Divided by 2922 Days equals 3,422,313,484 added to the national debt every single day of Obama's tenure as President.

Unless my math was wrong, I had to use an internet calculator, as the calculator that comes with my operating system does not accept numbers larger than 999 billion.

There are approximately 350,000,000 people living in the United States today.

10,000,000,000,000 divided by 350,000,000 equals 28,572 per person.

I would be grateful If someone would double check these numbers.
