You just are not paying attention. The deficit was caused by both the diminishing economy, tax cuts and spending increases. But that is OK, because that is what you do in a recession. Cut taxes, increase spending to pull you out.
Now that we are growing again the government should cut spending. The Repubs are not doing a very good job at that but it is not like there is an alternative. If the firemen are not doing a very good job putting out fires, you don't turn the job over to the girl scouts.
