here's an interesting graph.

note the increase in bush's last year when pelosi and obama VOTED for HUGE increases.

i also seem to remember something happened in september 2001 and some guy named gingrich working with clinton to reduce the deficit.

also note who was in control of the purse strings during reagan years.

also note the sharper increase under democrat control.

it's not that simple.

"What about Obama? Notice how the debt accelerated during Bush's last two budget years. Obama's debt is a continuation of that trend and neither Bush nor Obama are directly responsible for that acceleration. It happened because of the recession."

it's debatable about the recession as there were lot's of spending to democrat constituencies, namely the stupid banks and stimulus that obama accelerated that bushII started.  it's really both parties, but of course very few have the capability to see that.  that's why i don't vote either d or r.

reagan said he would but getting congress to to it wasn't to be.

You are right its not that simple-ITS THE POINT WE HAVE BEEN TRYING TO MAKE-and it also makes alot of the blame-and cliches,and accusations against the president pretty well null and void-or at least devoid of any solid  intellectual content. As far as who pulled the purse strings when Reagan and I believe Goerge 1s regime-IT WAS VOLKER-A Carter appointee O0

Anyone watch the Matt Lauer interview with the cab driver who fled the vehicle but used his I-phone as a tracking device when he called the police?  It was a really great story from the piece that I saw.
