It's your analysis that is faulty. Presidents ultimately are the ones who sign budgets into law. So Congress can propose all sorts of rubbish, but it won't be enacted until the President signs it. In addition, it is custom in this country that the President proposes what the upcoming budget will look like, then Congress takes his recommendations and massages it. If the same party is in power as the President's party, then the budget is usually exactly what the President asks for or darn close. No matter how you slice it, the buck stops with the President when it comes to budget spending. So it is entirely reasonable to blame the President for excess spending that leads to increased debt. The fact is that 75% of the debt on the books today was signed off by a Republican President. That exposes the lie that the GOP is more fiscally conservative. The fact is they are not. Now, this thread in particular has continually blamed the debt on the Democrats. So the analysis I posted was an entirely reasonable rebuttal to those accusations.
