Here is a simple chart that show AVERAGE ANNUAL Deficit (in billion $) by president.

Reagan 231
Bush 41 373
Clinton 193
Bush 42 613
Obama 1514

So Obama deficits on average are WAAAAAAY beyond Bush43. About 2.5x to be more precise and 8x Clinton’s average annual deficit.

I remember in school during the Bush Sr. years all you would hear about was the deficit. There were deficit counters we were subjected to on a daily basis. Now, nothing! No one cares suddenly!
