No need to break it down there's enough info out there go look it up.

Clinton sacrificed national security which made us weaker, but he did well with the newt Gingrich led congress.

Bush jr had 9/11 predicated by decisions Clinton made during his presidency, Katrina and 2 wars so spending was way up. He also inherited a recession in the form of the dot com boom and bubble from Clinton . While bush spent ALOT in his last 4 years he hasn't touched Obama in terms of spending.

If you disagree with bush spending you cannot say Obama is ok or look the other way. His first year he spent more than all presidents combined. Obama doesn't get a free pass sorry and he's showing no signs of slowing down

also bush had historically low unemployment and a booming economy disguised by the housing bubble
