You'd have a point if expenditures were what was driving the deficit, but it's lack of revenue due to tax cuts. The United States has essentially the lowest tax revenue as a percentage of GDP in the industrialized world. And even by their own historical standards, they're generating about as little tax revenue as they have since the early '50s. Given the current economic climate, that's insane.
