Iiiiiinteresting

 

[Occamstazer]

Most of us who consider ourselves moderates or liberals already knew this.

It will be interesting to watch how the extremist right wingers spin this data or, as they're more likely to do, ignore it or not bother to read it at all before making their inane rebuttals.

Forbes: Obama is the smallest government spender since Eisenhower

True. Credible statistics clearly show that.

 

[TheOldSchool]

It'll probably be a while before the hardline conservatives here post. They're off desperately searching for data to dispute the claim.

From your link: "So, how do the actual Obama annual budgets look?"

Can you say, blank? There has been no budget since your dear leader took office. I don't need any bipartisan data to tell me that.

 

[TheOldSchool]

^That was discussed in the comment section.

If you actually did some HONEST research, you would know that isn't true. Also, it was discussed in the comment section. The US government cannot function without a budget. You know that right?

Of course there isn't any. They blame the Obama for the mess they handed him. It took Reagan and the two Bushes many years to create the mess they did. Especially with Bush Jr. being sent in to "finish the job". As if it's possible to turn a country around that has been so thoroughly trashed.

President Obama: The Biggest Government Spender In World History

What this shows most importantly is that the recognition is starting to break through to the general public regarding the President’s rhetorical strategy that I’ve have been calling Calculated Deception. The latter is deliberately using a misleading argument to paint a false picture. That has been a central Obama practice not only throughout his entire presidency, but also as the foundation of his 2008 campaign strategy, and actually throughout his whole career.

Rest assured, Ms. Noonan, that the President is not as nuts as he may seem at times. He knows very well that he is not a careful spender. His whole mission is to transform the U.S. not into a Big Government country, but a Huge Government country, because only a country run by a Huge Government can be satisfactorily controlled by superior, all wise and beneficent individuals like himself. That is why he is at minimum a Swedish socialist, if not worse. Notice, though, how far behind the times he and his weak minded supporters are, as even the Swedes have abandoned Swedish socialism as a failure.

4 billion a day of borrowing just to keep the lights on,wake -up retards !

There has been a budget proposal from Obama but no positive action on it by the Congress since Obama took office.

Presidents only propose budgets. Or didn't you know that?

Let's see what Congress does with his new budget proposal.

Did you ever read such convoluted crap?

Debt the day Bush took office, $5.7 trillion. The day he left, $10.6 trillion.
The last day of Obama's first term, $16.4 trillion.
Looks like Bush added $4.9 trillion in 8 years compared to $5.8 trillion Obama added in 4.
Obama is many things, but a small government spender isn't one of them.

Your link doesn't work. Not only that, what you wrote here is completely useless.

The debt that accumulates during a president's administration is only in part because of presidential policy. You should know better.
