Myths/Obama/federal budget/more than previous 43 presidents

Myth: Obama has accumulated more debt than previous 43 presidents combined.

Myth

Example

• "Look at the debt that has been accumulated in the last two years. It's more debt under this president than all those other presidents combined."

Reality

"...under Obama, the public debt rose by $3.411 trillion and the gross federal debt rose by $3.718 trillion. That’s a huge amount of money -- but it’s far less than what was accumulated by Obama’s 43 predecessors."
