Can someone explain this to me?
I like to put a penny onto all of my transactions. This way, it counts as interest earned and also gives me a quick, at-a-glance look at the number of transactions I've made from the monthly total.

I don't follow. Are you saying you do this:
1355.01
45.01
34.01
578.01
13.01
And you count the number of pennies, which corresponds to the number of transactions?
If so, deliberately going over one cent at the pump just ends up costing you more. Everytime you pull the trigger on the nossel you lose money and gain little to nothing in fuel.
Aaaanyways...

No, but I'm cool with it going a little over. It's better to be at .01 than .99 because you only get cash back on the last whole dollar.
But, yeah, when I tip at a restaurant or something I tend to do that.

Look at the facts before pointing fingers. Would you, as the 'christian party' rather spend your money on war, or to help other Americans?

Take a look at your graph for a second. See the little numbers under the president's name? Those are years. They indicate how long that president spent accumulating that debt. Also, you present a seriously biased view of the spending under both Bush and Obama's time in office. Bush sponsored a new entitlement program for prescription drugs AND has a fair amount of the economic bust occurring during the portion of time that is commonly attributed to his debt accumulation (some of this may be after Obama took office due to budget timing). Likewise, Obama has a lot of defense spending incorporated into his numbers, but also some big bailout dollars. Is it corporate bailouts for poor investments that you consider "helping other Americans"?
Both Bush and Obama have accumulated debt quickly as a result of the economic bust. Both have accumulated debt quickly as a result of military activities. Both have accumulated debt quickly as a result of entitlement spending - some of which is either attributable directly to them or is defended vigorously by them.
None of your conclusions are supported. Obama is raising the debt at a much faster rate than presidents before him, and he's not spending the money any differently than Bush would.

Firstly, my picture doesn't support republicans, only bashes Obama. Secondly, I'm not a republican. You realize that at the time of your graph being made, Bush had spent more than twice the number of years in office than Obama, meaning Obama is spending more than twice the amount of Bush. But that's not even the point of my picture. My picture is about debt, which is related to spending but isn't the same.
Another thing: Four US-involved wars have taken place under Obama: Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya and ISIS. Under Bush, TWO wars took place.
