Where did you get your table? I’d love to incorporate it...
And you are completely right - the deficits were dropping under President Bush and the GOP controlled Congress; the data doesn’t lie. When Pelosi and Reid took over, things exploded.
The biggest current lie: President Obama inherited the deficit! BOLLOCKS! He sat in the Senate when the 2009 budget was passed, and then he signed it into law as President (Bush promised a veto, and thus Congress never sent it to him to sign).
The 2009 deficit was created by Pelosi/Obama/Reid, and signed into law by Obama. He owns this 100%.

Seems to be run by liberals but its fun to turn their own graph against them.
