You do understand that all legislation and spending comes out of congress? Bill Clinton still trying to take credit for welfare reform and the surpluses that were actually due to republicans taking control of the house in 1994. Just like Obama is trying to take credit for the decreasing deficits since 2011. Just like Bush helped the democrats spend like drunken sailors and blow up the deficits after 2007, when they took control of the house again and he failed to find his veto authority.
