Its not all Bush's fault, but if you included all the "emergency" appropriations (Iraq war, TARP, disaster relief) in Bush's last budget it would have been $1.3 trillion. Throughout his 8 years he used this accounting methods to keep the budget deficit lower than it was in reality (after all it is real money and did add to the debt). In Bush's 8 years not one penny for the military in Iraq or Afganistan was ever included in his general budget request. Obama has put the war funding, stimulus and emergency funding on budget. You may not like he's spending but are you at least willing to say he is being more honestabout it? Probably not. Also, unless something has changed from this morning's news I believe the budget announcement was to be that this year's deficit was to be about 8% less than originally forcast.
