Good non-political article that sums up spending and debt

The only way it is Bush's fault is that he didn't find a way to banish the bamster and the spendthrift Dumycrat congress from this land for ever.

the libs try to blame bush for everything.  but I cannot recall a single sane person at this site that has given Bush a free ride. he made some big mistakes but he's not the ogre that obama is.

Fact of the matter is that it will continue to be Bush's fault until there is a new non democrat president that they can shift the blame to. It is never the fault of a democrat.

You've finally figured it out.

That's about it.  Lets see, we are spending 8 times more now than in 2007,  congress controls all spending, and who has controlled congress since 2007....OK...got it. 
I think democrats own it all at this point, probably doesn't matter who the president is, congress spends the money through legislation.
The Republicans are a big problem for me being weak and worthless but I don't see how they have been a problem for democrats at all. Actually, the Dem's would be in the same place if there were no such thing as republicans....and there really isn't a such thing as republicans lately....so there ya go.  It's a Dem problem, but the same old one we always had.  Nothing new.  They been stealing our wealth since Woodrow Wilson...progressives go way back.  They are hard to get rid of.

To be accurate, one must blame both!

However, if the article is correct, it puts the lie to everything the dumycrats try to say about tax cuts.  In their minds, tax cuts only deny the government and their dependants, revenue.  Since the Bush Tax Cuts were implemented, federal revenues have increased--including since they were extended grudgingly under the present regime.
