2001 - $5.871 trillion
2008 - $10.640 trillion

Jan 31st 2011 = $14.131-Tr­­­­­­­­­­­­­­i­l­l­i­­o­­n

But of the $3.56-tril­­­­­­­­­­­­­­l­i­o­n increase, 98% was carry over from Bush programs:

Bush: $910-billi­­­­­­­­­­­­­­o­n = Interest on Debt 2009/2011
Bush: $360-billi­­­­­­­­­­­­­­o­n = Iraq War Spending 2009/2011
Bush: $319-billi­­­­­­­­­­­­­­o­n = TARP/Bailo­­­­­­­­­­­­­­u­t Balance from 2008 (as of May 2010)
Bush: $419-billi­­­­­­­­­­­­­­o­n = Bush Recession Caused Drop in taxes

2009 to 2010: $3.181-tri­­­­­­­­­­­­­­l­l­i­o­­n


Total: $7.950-tri­­­­­­­­­­­­­­l­l­i­o­­n

Increase Since 2001 = $14.131 - $5.871 = $8.26-Tril­­­­­­­­­­­­­­l­i­o­n

Bush's contributi­­­­­­­­­­­­­­o­n­: $7.950-tri­­­­­­­­­­­­­­l­l­i­o­­n / $8.26-Tril­­­­­­­­­­­­­­l­i­o­n = 96%
