 Much of the increase in the Deficit over the past 3 budgets was a result of the Bush tax cuts, plus the cost of the Iraq war, plus Medicare Part D. These were cooked into the mess that Obama inherited. I'm not sure how Obama could have cut the Deficit -- it was not possible to raise taxes or repeal Medicare Part D or de-fund the troops. Fortunately,the worst is behind us. The housing market has stabilized, consumer debt has been reduced, and private employment is rising. This has been a very difficult recession, that was many years in the making, but we are on the right path to recovery.
