Correction though, W's number is way low. Also, it does not include the war(s) because a lot of that money is off balance sheet. Also, W's number is greater that the total of all, and I mean all, previous presidents. Love those fiscal conservatives! Sorry, there does seem to be an ideological difference. The neo-conservatives are the "Spend and don't pay for it party". They leave it to future generations. Seems to be OK with them. So, wonder who is benefiting from this "spend and don't pay for it" philosophy? Ummmmm. Notice I didn't use the word Republican. They don't exit anymore - their party has been hijacked. You gotta love greed. John in Denver Truth Hurts! Correction though, W’s number is way low. Also, it does not include the war(s) because a lot of that money is off balance sheet.

The president submits budgets to the House which are then ignored. House also has to authorize the war spending. You're looking in the wrong place, the House is where the problem is.
