i actually found out about recently, but bush deficit number isn’t as low as it seem too. What happens, is alot of supplementals aren’t included in the final reported deficit numbers. So you could report $100 billion deficit but with supplemental funding, it could actually be $400 billion.

The way to correctly look at this is to look at the debt level each year. Thats the true number
