Well Bush did have the war in Iraq which was responsible for much of the spending. That should be much smaller now.

"Do you think cutting taxes was responsible for the deficits under GWB? Or could it have been uncontrolled federal spending?" Why separate them? If Bush had RAISED taxes to FUND his spending, there would have been no deficit increase on his watch. But, (R)'s NEVER do this, choosing to spend like drunken sailors with BORROWED MONEY. This is why 75% of our current deficits can be laid at their feet. For (R)'s, in the words of Dick Cheney, "Deficits don't matter".
