The deficit was v-e-r-y small when Bush Jr. took office in 2001.
Perhaps if he would have led by example instead of lead by lies and
censorship, future admins would have did the same. But they didn't did
they?
There's no one to blame but those that led us there.

Yes I know, it's the same old story of "they couldn't do it because
x,y,z blah blah blah."
The fact is it's up to the leader to make it happen or not, and Bush
Jr. wasn't about to negotiate with Democrats at all period.
Instead he used the power of the Presidential office as a dictatorship
and got everything he wanted with exceptionally little compromise.
So you'll have to ask yourself; 'why Bush Jr. just didn't decree it
so' the way he did so many other things while President.
Answer: Because he didn't want to.
He would talk a talk, but not walk the walk.
Remember, he's the one who always said "the economy is good shape".
So believe what he says and stop complaining about it after wards when
it's too late.

Not factual.
The fact is Wall Street was not giving any money to any Democrats
after 9-11 happened.
Get your facts straight, or do you need proof? Because I can provide
it.
Wall Street is not stupid, they hedge their bets and give to those in
power at the time.
