Can you clarify WHEN the previous precedent for deficits was set.

Was it during WWII or another period?

The costs for Iraq and Afghanistan were pretty stiff, so I'm wondering how you can say that "social spending" was a bigger contributor to the deficits during the Bush years than those two wars?

And I'm not talking about possible "unfunded" future costs for Medicare and Social Security because those things were happening long before Reagan got into office.
