Why not compare the actual numbers? The portion of the chart for the Bush years is based on the Bush administration's cooked books. Cost of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq? Not counted in those numbers. Ditto the annual Medicare "doctor fix" and spending that comes up every year for natural disaster recovery (all of which, by the way, are accounted for in Obama's budget projections).
Excuse me I was using CBO numbers silly me....
