THAT's a f...king INCREASE!!

perhaps but the issue is, do we want bigger or smaller central govt. China just eliminated 40% of world poverty with smaller govt. What is the lesson there?

dumbto3 is actually so dumb he doesn't know that JS MIl was a conservative and libertarian!! He wrote "On Liberty"! He didn't mean on liberty from the Girls Scouts but rather on liberty from govt.

I have asked him 134 times if he is a communist.

Republican campaign strategists may lie, but the numbers don’t. Government spending, when adjusted for inflation, has increased during his administration (to date) by 1.4%. Under George W. Bush, the increases were 7.3% (first term) and 8.1% (second term). Bill Clinton, in his two terms, comes in at 3.2% and 3.9%. George H. W. Bush increased government spending by 5.4%, while Ronald Reagan added 8.7% and 4.9% in his two terms.

Not only does Obama turn out to be the most thrifty president in recent memory, but the evidence shows that Republican administrations consistently increased government spending significantly more than any Democratic administration. Go figure.

NOT ONE comment about what happened in the years 2001 through 2008 THAT HAVE NEVER HAPPENED before and most likely will never happen again!
ONCE again I've got to remind people of the history!
What in the hell is wrong with you biased totally ignorant people that have NO obviously historical perspective?

1) Do YOU agree a recession started under Clinton and became official 3/01 ended 11/01?
Source: USATODAY.com - It s official 2001 recession only lasted eight months

2) Do YOU agree that the dot.com bust occurred and cost $5 trillion in losses?
According to the Los Angeles Times, when the dot-com bubble burst, it wiped out $5 trillion dollars in market value for tech companies. More than half of the Internet companies created since 1995 were gone by 2004 - and hundreds of thousands of skilled technology workers were out of jobs.
Source: The dot-com bubble How to lose 5 trillion 8211 Anderson Cooper 360 - CNN.com Blogs

3) Hard to believe but people forget that 9/11 cost $2 trillion in lost businesses,market values assets.
Jobs lost in New York owing to the attacks: 146,100 JUST in New York.
Year 2001: September 11 Terrorist Attacks
The 9/11 terrorist attacks were the events that helped shape other financial events of the decade. After that terrible day in September 2001, our economic climate was never to be the same again. It was only the third time in history that the New York Stock Exchange was shut down for a period of time. In this case, it was closed from September 10 - 17. Besides the tragic human loss of that day, the economic loss cannot even be estimated. Some estimate that there was over $60 billion in insurance losses alone.
Approximately 18,000 small businesses were either displaced or destroyed in Lower Manhattan after the Twin Towers fell. There was a buildup in homeland security on all levels. 9/11 caused a catastrophic financial loss for the U.S.
Source: The Top 10 Financial Events of the Decade

4) $1 trillion in written off losses due to the WORST Hurricane SEASONS in history.
The worst, Katrina made landfall in Louisiana as a Category 3 in 2005. It took 1,836 lives and caused $81.2 billion in damages. Andrew slammed into South Florida in 1992 as a Category 5. It caused 40 deaths and $30 billion in property damage. More than 250,000 people were left homeless and 82,000 businesses were destroyed or damaged.
Hurricane Katrina ALONE! Year 2005: Hurricanes Katrina and Rita
On August 25, 2005, Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast of the U.S. as a strong Category 3 or low Category 4 storm. It quickly became the biggest natural disaster in U.S. history, almost destroying New Orleans due to severe flooding.
The Top 10 Financial Events of the Decade

THESE events OCCURRED!
YET in SPITE of
a) 400,000 jobs due to Hurricanes Katrina/Rita ,
b) 2,800,000 jobs in alone due to 9/11,
c) 300,000 jobs lost due to dot.com busts...
In spite of nearly $8 trillion in lost businesses, market values, destroyed property.. IN SPITE of that:

NICE TALKING POINTS NOT BASED IN REALITY THOUGH BUBBA

Obama INHERITED POLICIES from Dubya that CAUSED the deficits under him, by and large. Grove me ONE policy (or as many as you like) that created even $1 trillion of debt since Obama came into office he is responsible for? lol

BTW THE US ECONOMY DIPPED 9%+ THE LAST 3 MONTHS OF 2008...

[Dad2three]

Nutters are very find of pretending that liberals don't know the difference between the deficit and the debt. That's silly of course.

What isn't silly....is that nutters don't know the relationship between the two.

Obama will have added more to the deficit than all other Presidents combined. That is the only fact that matters.

He's to late, Ronnie TRIPLED all debt of previous Prez, Dubya doubled it

Freedom from Government ?
Michael Schiavo Says Jeb Bush Created A Living Hell

The legal struggle surrounding Terri Schiavo, and the role former Gov. Jeb Bush (R) played in trying to keep her on life support, including quickly signing legislation that allowed the governor to prevent Schiavo's feeding tube from being removed, resurfaced through a very long piece in Politico.


The piece, published on Friday, detailed the duels between Schiavo's husband, Michael, and the then-governor from 2003 to 2005 over whether to take Schiavo off life support after suffering from a fall in 1990 that left her brain-dead. Schiavo would spend nearly 15 years on life support in a vegetative state while her family fought over her fate.


"It was a living hell," Michael Schiavo told Politico, "and I blame him."

ROFLMNAO!

Now THAT is ADORABLE!

And he did it by only doubling the national DEBT which took the previous 43 Adminsitrations 235 years to do.

obama spent less than ALL OF THOSE GUYS and DOUBLED THE DEBT THOSE GUYS CREATED!

LOL! BRILLIANT OP! You've clearly given this a LOT of 'feeling'.

 

[Dad2three]

That is a total crock of shit, statistics lie and liars use statistics. The national debt when he took office was 10 trillion, it took 43 presidents more than 200 years to run that up, your dear leader is on pace to double that in 8 years, so it is ludicrous to say he's spending less.

Clinton's last F/Y budget

US debt

09/30/2001 $5,807,463,412,200.06

Dubya's last F/T budget

Us debt

09/30/2009 $11,909,829,003,511.75
Government - Historical Debt Outstanding - Annual 2000 - 2014


NOW give me POLICY Obama passed that created the debt, LIKE Dubya's 2 UNFUNDED (means cutting spending for you low informed types), 2 UNFUNDED wars (in FACT they actually cut funding again before going to Dubya's war of choice), UNFUNDED Medicare expansion, OR A REGULATOR FAILURE AS DUBYA PUSHED HIS 'HOME OWNERSHIP SOCIETY AS US HOUSEHOLD DEBT DOUBLED FROM 2001-2007 BECAUSE DUBYA HAD NO OTHER ECONOMIC ENGINE!!!

PLEASE, PRETTY PLEASE TELL US WHAT O'S BEEN DOING WRONG? lol

The graph is from the Office of Management and Budget ; Congressional Budget Office ...what is your source Einstein ?

fox news, whirlynutdaily, or their favorite newsmax... what's even funnier they are debating this in the house and the repub-lie-cans are failing big time ... the dems are trying to set a budget and the republicans are fighting it all the way ... using the same thing that he's spending out of control ... while all the figures coming from the CBO are saying and showing he isn't

 

[billyerock1991]

Typical far left drone.

Believes the CBO on one thing as it fits their programmed narrative and then ignores the CBO when it goes against their Messiah.

do you have any source any information any link of any kind or are you fascinated by your clever use of "left drone" Einstein ?..... you are just another Blow hard no information right wing laughing stock repeating meme s...

See the irony impaired far left drone (that supports Obama's illegal wars) believes the CBO here, but ignores the CBO when it comes to Obamacare.

Typical far left drone..

you have nothing to counter what I posted so you have two strategies

change the subject to claims about Obamacare...

and of course the brilliant "left drone" ...you have it going on there Einstein...I am laughing at you....you are struggling....

Just point out that the far left drone uses the CBO in this case, but ignores it when it comes to anything that speaks bad of the messiah.

So did you believe the CBO when it showed that Obamacare was not really going to fix any problems except spend trillions of dollars?

See how the far left drones want it to be a valid source here, but not when it runs up against their programmed narrative. Especially as they support Obama's illegal wars.

So if the CBO is a valid source now then it should be when it says that we sill spend trillions on Obamacare that will not really do any good. Or did the far left drone not understand the word Trillions?

Of Couse you truly do not understand the source that you posted, it just fit the programmed narrative..

I understand that you are a low information no information right wing nut bag repeating meme s no sources no nothing ...

i for one would love to see this guys numbers on Obama care... I've seen totally the opposite
