In the two years since 2008, the cuts' total cost grew to $2.3 trillion, the Tax Policy Center estimated.
So about 18% of the TOTAL federal defiicit can be attributed to the Bush tax cuts. Let not forget the medicare prescription drug act passes by a GOP controlled Congress and singed by Bush. How much has that cost another $500 billion so far? How about the pointless Iraq war? That's another 2 trillion?
