Deficits to some extent were inevitable and desirable in Obama’s term


Because of the financial collapse and the related collapse in tax revenues. Whether or not the spending done was wise is another issue. Goosing the economy now when it is strong makes no sense.

The only recent president to govern like a fiscal conservative was Clinton, whether you think he wanted to or was forced to or some combination of the two.
