Amazing. In 2011 you hang Bush with a chart from 2004 with "projections" yet Obama hasn't spent a penny until years after his term ends. You can't lose by your rules.
Reagan spend a fortune repairing the military after the long Vietnam War, Carters neglect and the investment in star wars that brought our military back to the cutting edge as well as to help dismantle the Soviet Union. At the same time GDP skyrocketed, the economy boomed and while spending did increase as you keep repeating, you forget to mention the economy grew by 1/3. Unemployment went from over 10% to just over 5% with the addition of nearly 20 million real jobs. As for Bush II, most of his spending was for defense and remember the wars were not part of defense spending. His social spending was to fight Aids in Africa, poverty in America, drugs for seniors and improving education for minorities to name a few. I realize you hate all that spending but will love v2 of all those programs with 100 times the spending because it will now be owned by the clean articulate guy.
