President Obama's administration has been blamed for reckless spending that has put America into its debt hole. But in reality, much of that spending emanates from policies of President Bush, according to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities.

They argue that Iraq, Afghanistan, and the Bush tax cuts (along with the economic downturn) are what is driving the U.S. deficit, not stimulus spending. The CBPP focuses on lower to middle income issues and may be directly involved with the Democratic Party.

The chart presents the ugly truth.

1. This is what Bush did.

Old question: What did you do in the war, Daddy?

New answer: I pocketed a large tax cut, honey.

Pause.

And then I passed the bill for the war onto you.

2. George W. Bush: Terrible President, Terrible Person.

The worst President. He destroyed the economy, allowed the largest terrorist attack in history to occur on his watch even after being warned, ruined foreign relations, and screwed up defense policy.

Piece of God Dam s**t! :mad:
