You have no idea.......color me surprised....Yo, Colonel....Snowflakes are very concerned with government spending, we know.
Can you post the annual growth rates of federal spending (in nominal dollars) for the following
Carter
Reagan
Poppy
Clinton
Scrub
Obama
?
Just the numbers.......I'll figure out their ordinal ranking....
Why don't you cut right to the point you think you are making?
Here is my point directly.
Liberals have no problem with a $20 trillion debt, but they feign being very concerned about the money being used for border security.
Carter's spending means dick.
Here is the deal on federal spending as percentage of GDP...
Popular Conception
Obama’s rhetoric plays to the misconception that the Republicans are the party of irresponsible deregulation, small government and tax cuts that favor the rich, while the Democrats are the reverse. But the policy history back to Jimmy Carter is inconsistent with that view.
Let’s look at each key component, spending, regulation, and taxes, in turn. Contrary to popular belief, the relationship between the party in the White House and government outlays is the opposite of what one might expect.
Under Carter, total government outlays as a percent of gross domestic product averaged a relatively stable 20.8 percent. Over the next 12 years, when Republicans Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush resided in the White House, spending increased, averaging 22.2 percent of GDP.
The trend reversed under the Democratic leadership of Bill Clinton. Government on average consumed 19.8 percent of GDP during his term.
Finally, Republicans under George W. Bush undid the progress made during the Clinton years with spending rising from just 18.2 percent of GDP in his first year, to 20.7 percent by the time he left office.
Carter Shows Where Obama Needs to Go
And, since I know damned well where you are thinking of heading next, I suggest you google AEI and Kevin Hassett before opening your piehole...
If you would like to see the spending growth data, hollaback...
Snowflakes don't mind $10 trillion additional debt over he past 8 years.
They claim to be angry about spending money to secure the border.
Hypocrites regardless of anything Jimmy Carter did nearly half a century ago.
How much of that debt was a result of spending on people that wall would keep out. It's simple math. If what it costs to do something produces a greater return/savings than it costs to do it, isn't it worth it? That's what the left tells us about their free college plan.
