Then go with it's a Kenyan Muslim Communist conspiracy, "Handsome Boy"

They did give him credit for his own rather large budget item, didn't they?
Virtually every positive number on that chart is due to the Clinton presidency. That is like giving the weatherman in San Diego credit for it being nice outside.

There is a difference between federal spending growth and deficit legacy. Don't confuse them (like "Handsome Boy" did) The second isn't on that chart. It's spending growth per administration, only. Not underlaying obligations.

And Obama's is the lowest in decades. He only increased federal spending growth rate 1.4%. Yes, that's true. And last month? The USA took in more money than we spent. For the first time in years. Obama is frugal as hell.

Really, if you want to disagree, I'd contact the Wall Street Journal and tell them they are wrong. But it's pretty clear that Republicans are spending fools. Wars and unfunded tax cuts do that to a budget.

Here's another chart from the Wall Street Journal:
