That is not even a reasonable way to look at it. At all. Look at the average deficit under Bush 43 vs Obama, adjusted for the increase due to borrowed interest. If you want to, throw how the high and low values. Bush's. Deficits never hit the level of Obama's under that more rational analytical scenario.

Reality is it is a false metric. Something like 83 percent of spending is non discretionary anyway. A first term president cannot be expected deal with the deficit problem in truth, which involves cutting programs that would effectively destroy him politically.

Unless Trump is re-elected there is pretty much no chance of any fiscal improvement. Realistically.

It will be the Obama bullshit all over again.
