Is it your contention that no other Presidents "inherited" costs from previous administrations?

Cymbeline stated "Republicans believe adding $7 trillion more to the debt..." Which President added $7 trillion to the debt?

With current federal spending ($3.7 trillion total) at 67% for entitlement programs (about $2.5 trillion) and 16% for defense ($592 billion) telling the "story" would necessitate which party deserves most of the credit for the entitlement programs that consume the vast majority of federal spending. https://www.cbpp.org/research/federal-budget/policy-basics-where-do-our-federal-tax-dollars-go

Please Follyfan "tell the story" about how the national debt goes ever higher due to uncontrolled entitlement program spending.
