Just going off the link that Sinfix provided, without doing any additional research, it appears that the deficit nearly tripled under Bush, which leads me to believe it had a lot to do with a financial system crash and little to do with Bush's fault/Obamas fault. It also appears, by the same info, that the deficit has been reduced by nearly 30%. So why, again, are we telling half the story?
