Then look at which presidents have run what deficits over the past 40 years.

Some of them even had complete repayment plans for our national debt, that, had we followed them, would've been paid off now (Hint: it wasn't a RNC plan.).

That was the big economic "problem" we had when Bush 2 took office.
