Nice try, but that doesn't change anything. Obama is not just going to spend more, but also have larger deficits than Bush (or Reagan, or anyone else since FDR if your measuring as a percentage of GDP, or than anyone else in history if you use the more common, but much less important, criteria of nominal dollars), so he doesn't just have more spending, but more "unfunded spending".

A tax cut isn't profligacy. Profligacy in terms of the government budget is the government spending to much. But even if it was profligacy, Obama would still be the most profligate.

He should face up to that fact and work on changing it, but instead he prefers to blame others while continuing to make things worse.
