[QUOTE="ShadowSD:1327567"]Whichever version of the figures someone accepts on the relative amounts, one thing no one can dispute is that the Obama amount came mostly from Bush policies. The policies passed in the five years when Bush and Republicans controlled Congress (wars, defense hikes, Medicare D, and tax cuts) cost more than any government policies from any other five year period in world history - several trillion dollars and counting in the last ten years - costing several times more than all the programs Obama has proposed and then enacted combined (which AT BEST amount to no more than a trillion or two over the next ten years, if even that). There's also the fact that deficit reduction attempts by last two Presidents in the last decade amount to...

Does anyone remember deficit reduction efforts by the last administration? Ever? Google 'Bush "deficit cuts"' and see for yourself; be prepared to read one article about his father, and another where the article describes the deficit cuts being proposed as not credible. If only Republicans would dump the supply side crack smoking and go back to a Ron Paul or even Bob Dole traditional Republican budget instinct of caring about numbers instead of just denying them. What we all have to remember in this election was that there was another Presidential candidate, aside from Mitt Romney in last week's debate, who swore up and down in the Presidential debates that he wasn't going to cut taxes for the rich really and he wouldn't add to the deficit at all really, despite the plan he had always been pushing. It was Bush [URL='http://thinkprogress.org/economy/2012/10/04/962791/romney-debate-bush-mirror/']in 2000[/URL]. What was that old saying he later butchered about not being fooled twice?[/QUOTE]
