Could be but it all started with Bush. Bush threw away all the hard work the GOP Congress did in the late 90s. Obama is a Marxist and he wants to collapse the system so he can remake it to this liking. And it appears the GOP House will go along since the House holds the purse strings. I am not to happy with anyone in DC.

The deficits under Bush were manageable. And he tried to face the entitlement problem, but got no help from the GOP Congress. He should have done better on the deficit, but it was not the problem it is has become since 2009.

Daniels was the Bush budget director.
