1. Great info but remember that Bush kept the Iraq war off the budget
all of the costs were not a part of the budget until Obama took office. The Bush travesty is UNDERstated

so that's another reason Obama has high deficits, even though his 2010 deficit was $200 billion less than Bush's last 2009 budget. But the GOP has completely brainwashed their sheep that Obama has tripled the debt and has added more debt than all Presidents combined. Even Palin or Bachmann said it the other day.

to put all the info together, but next I might add some of the major expenses like Bush's wars, Medicare Pt. D, Reagan's star wars etc, ultimately with all the numbers.
