Obama "added" trillions to the debt by putting Iraq and Afghanistan on the same set of books as the rest of the government. Dubya had 'em on "supplementals", pretending that supplemental expenditures weren't as much tax money as the rest of the government was.

In accounting circles, keeping two sets of books is illegal, and for good reason.
