No, Bush policies and the Republican Congress were shrinking the deficit when the Dems won the majority.
It was somewhere around $150 bil, down from around $500 bil.
It had been shrinking to the point where it would have gone into a surplus by this year......but the Democrats have been doing everything they can the last year and a half to increase the deficit.......just so they could crow about it to the press and the press could crow about it to the world.
It's kind of hard to start chipping away at the national debt when you're spending more then you're taking in.
