WRONG! it is narrowing the gap from the 2008 Recession that had its beginnings in 2003-04 when Dubya was president and he nearly bankrupted the country.

The recession created by the Democratic controlled Congress by forcing banks into the mortgage crisis by sub prime loans you mean?

President George W. Bush - President Bush added the most to the debt, more than $6 trillion. This more than doubled the debt, which was $5.8 trillion on September 30, 2001 -- the end of FY 2001, which was President Clinton's last budget. Bush responded to the 9/11 attacks by launching the War on Terror. This drove military spending to record levels, $600-$800 billion a year. This included the Iraq War, which cost $807.5 billion. President Bush also responded to the 2001 recession by passing EGTRRA and JGTRRA, otherwise known as theBush tax cuts, which reduced revenue. He approved a $700 billion bailout package for banks to combat the 2008 global financial crisis. For more, see the Bush Administration.

nope, the recession caused by the Republican lead wars on Iraq and Afghanistan

The wars authorized by a Democratic Congress? And I thought all spending was good to Democrats. They certainly have done their best to spend as much of other people's money as possible.
