I don't need to. The last FY that was under a republican house, FY2007, had a deficit of 161 billion. Deficits decreased from FY2004 through FY2007. The First budget under a democrat house, FY2008, and signed by Bush gave us a deficit of 458 Billion.  I agree that Bush had a great deal of trouble finding his veto authority and that is something I have been complaining about since at least 2007.

The wars were paid for every year and I will agree that there is a continuing cost but you on the left claim that Obama has been doing a wonderful job with the economy. Not true by the way.

Medicare Part D that was opposed by every democrat in the house? What about the 16 democrats in the house who voted for Medicare Part D on Nov. 22nd, 2003? Final passage by the house by the way and the 11 democrats and 1 independent who voted for it in the senate on Nov. 25th, 2003? And you say I am short on facts. Not hardly. Funding for Part D is through the Medicare Advantage plans. Lost again muck!
