I'm aware that deficits spiked during Reagan's term, but much of the increase was from entitlement spending that was locked in decades before he even got there; the remainder was for national defense. By contrast, not only has non-military discretionary spending under Bush expanded at a rate rivalled only by Lyndon Johnson's Great Society, but he's majorly expanded entitlement spending during his presidency.
It's called Homeland Security spending....
In 2000, the consensus of the American people was that we needed a prescription drug entitlement. Bush ran on it and kept his promise, BLAME THE AMERICAN PEOPLE!!!
