Maybe it i's the President's fault? Bush ran a healthy deficit also if you remember (He began with a SURPLUS and ended with over a trillion dollar deficit - talk about a big spender?)
Have you ever considered the possibility that our country's financial problems are due to a SUICIDAL ECONOMIC SYSTEM? After all, the fed gov't is in debt, nearly all the states are deep in red, nearly all municipalities are deep in red, nearly all COUNTRIES are deep in red. See a pattern forming???? Do you really think that many leaders, who are apparently intelligent enough to get elected, become spontaneously incompetent the minute they take office?
No sir, that pattern is obvious. The economic system is suicidal. Prove me wrong and your long list of states and countries that aren't deep in debt and who are thriving with a surplus. Stop blaming government when that isn't the fundamental problem.
