There was no surplus. The debt was not tripled by Bush. Also don't forget that spending is controlled by Congress not the President. The largest increases in debt during Bush's Presidency were the last two, when the Democrats controlled Congress. Year - Gross Debt in Billions - as % of GDP 2001 - 5,769.9 - 57.4 2002 - 6,198.4 - 59.7 2003 - 6,760.0 - 62.6 2004 - 7,354.7 - 63.9 2005 - 7,905.3 - 64.6 2006 - 8,451.4 - 65.0 2007 - 8,950.7 - 65.6 2008 - 9,985.8 - 70.2 By Contrast here are the projected debts - 2009 (est.) - 12,867.5 - 90.4 2010 (est.) - 14,456.3 - 98.1 Insanely high.
