The numbers to look at are 2001 to 2009. The government fiscal year is Oct. 1 to Sep. 30 so Clinton's last budget was through Sep. 2001 and Bush's last just ended in Sep. 2009. That means Bush more than doubled the debt from Clinton's last year in office, $5.8 trillion to $11.9 trillion.

I really can't understand how anyone can defend the job those guys did.
