Interesting chart...shows that Bush in 7 years cost us more than Obama is projected to cost us in 8. By a factor of more than 3. Chart is said to reflect changes made during an administration (so Obama doesn't get blame for extending Bush cuts, for example).

It demonstrates the utter incoherence of being very concerned about a structural federal deficit but ruling out of consideration the policy that was largest single contributor to that deficit, namely the Bush-era tax cuts.
