bush
- About 33 percent of the swing stems from new legislation signed by Mr. Bush
- Mr. Obama’s main contribution to the deficit is his extension of several Bush policies, like the Iraq war and tax cuts for households making less than $250,000. Such policies — together with the Wall Street bailout, which was signed by Mr. Bush and supported by Mr. Obama — account for 20 percent of the swing.
to be fair i attributed 10% of the 20% of the last one to each
making bush's contribution after 8 years to the 1.2 trillion dollar swing in projected deficit 43%(33+10)
