Presidents can only spend what Congress gives them. Congress was run by republicans for six years. They should have increased spending which would have increased growth. All tax cuts should have been off the table.

You think spending exploded under Obama. Here are the numbers.

3,517,677
3,457,079
3,603,065
3,536,945
3,454,647
3,506,091
3,688,383
3,852,612

As you can see, even during an economic collapse spending hardly moved.
