The presidents only submit a budget that they know has a chance of being passed by congress. Sure the president shares responsibility for spending and deficits, but your chart assigns party responsibility based on who is president at the time, which is rather unreasonable.

No it isn't. The president has the responsibility to try and get his budget passed. That requires a lot of negotiation. Bottomline: the budget is presidentially inspired. Congress adds its two cents and then it gets passed most times. The president has far greater control than you seem to be willing to admit.
