Bush created 6 years of surpluses. In Iraq.

[SharksBreath]

If you are still wondering what, besides endless wars and astronomical growth in federal spending, might be the legacy of President George W. Bush, the U.S. Government Accountability Office has a surprise for you. Bush left office on a six-year run of budget surpluses — in Iraq.

As Newsmax.com reported on Sunday, the GAO has confirmed that the Iraq government has enjoyed six straight years of budget surpluses, totaling $52.1 billion, starting in 2004, the first full year after the United States invaded Iraq and toppled the regime of Saddam Hussein.



Meanwhile, the United States has, during that same period, run deficits that nearly doubled our national debt, from $6.9 trillion to $12.3 trillion.
