It's fashionable to blame both Parties for the Cheney/Bush mess, but they had 8 years to understand the pulse of the nation, the economy, the foreign policy, and get things right. They were in way over their heads. Any accrued debt in the years required to fix their mess, is on them!
It isn't fashionable it is basic civics and accurate. Congress makes the laws and Congress appropriates the money. A President cannot spend a dime without Congressional authorization which is why Bush didn't have the authority to create the deficit you claim. The debt exploded under Obama but you want to focus on a declining DEFICIT showing you have no understanding as to the difference. One of these days that lightbulb is going to go off in that head of yours and you are going truly feel foolish. Accrued debt?? What the hell is accrued debt other than interest on the debt. Want to deduct the Interest from the Bush inherited, Obama inherited, and Trump inherited debt? Want to wage on the outcome?
