I lowered taxes!!!
I kept the country safe by invading Iraq. So what if it was the wrong country? So what if I've doubled the national debt?
Let the dem's get back in the house and raise taxes. You'll see, you'll see what a good guy I am. So what if so many of you have lost your children to my war. I'm still the head honcho around here for the next 13 months. DEAL WITH IT!!
Hey, look at the bright side..you're only paying $3.20 for a gallon of gas. I've been a wonderful President.

LBJ.
But, there are several good candidates for this award.
War is a total waste of money, lives, and just about everything else; and so most every war president has shown great fiscal irresponsibility including the present one. But as totally and completely irresponsible as the current president is; I think Franklin Roosevelt (World War II) and Lyndon Johnson (Vietnam) were worst in terms of fiscal responsibility. Roosevelt had the USA spending half of it's gross national product on a war that maybe possibly could have been avoided. Johnson wouldn't cut back on domestic spending to help finance his war in Vietnam. This caused a situation where we had high unemployment and high inflation - a situation the lasted at least 15 years longer than his presidency. This was totally irresponsible - even more irresponsible than the current president's system of fighting an expensive war on borrowed money. At least the current president isn't trying to increase domestic spending as well.

Obama is a artwork in progression. Bush is to this element nonetheless. He replaced into surpassed persistent surpluses and ended up with a $a million-trillion deficit. it rather is an on the spot consequence of a) a progressively greater everlasting tax decrease (that gutted the excess fairly lots completely...) b) an unfunded vast growth of Medicare and c) a conflict of convenience (which easily proves to be the main inexpensive of the three problems - you could end a conflict, that is greater stable to repeal tax cuts or reward...)

This has to be a rhetorical question, but since my great grandchildren will be paying for his mistakes... I can say Bush has been the most fiscally irresponsible president not only in recent history. I wish it weren't true.

Jimmy Carter left America in the most economically unstable condition and led to worst inflation in fifty years, but George Bush has led to the largest deficit ever, so it's hard to pick one or the other. I'd have to say it's a tie.

George W. Bush without question. No other President has added 4 trillion dollars to the National Debt. He actually doubled the debt, and should have been impeached years ago.
The National Debt has continued to increase an average of
$1.47 billion per day since September 29, 2006!
