Check the actual spending.<br /><br />"he still gets blamed for that spending"<br /><br />Obama could have ended the wars within a few days after taking office. But no, he did not. So they are his wars now, and have been for two years.<br /><br />"....maintaining our Empire."<br /><br />There is no empire. Words have meanings, after all. So spending on empire is the same as spending on the base on Venus: $0.<br /><br />"Until you bash Reagan and Bush for the same shit, get off the Obama spending bullshit."<br /><br />I do. And I also point out the irrefutable fact that Bill Clinton ran 8 years of deficits (zero surplus) for a total of $1.6 trillion in new debt.dmarkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07269773990064736457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1250195226200160668.post-2309989744242150582011-01-27T15:26:39.413-05:002011-01-27T15:26:39.413-05:00No, Obama did not quadruple Bush spending. And let...No, Obama did not quadruple Bush spending. And lets talk about some of Obama's "spending". Inheriting 2 wars means he still has to spend on those even though he would have never gone to Iraq and would have probably handled Afghanistan differently (like not let Osama get away) but now, that he has actually put the wars on the budget, he still gets blamed for that spending. Also, what would have happened to both you and I's job if he hadn't been spending?? No one wants to talk about that. What would have happened to our tax base and how much more in debt would we be if unemployment were at 20%?<br /><br />And you also have to ask yourself the question, what does the interest on $11 Trillion dollars of debt which is how much debt we were in when he took office?? <br /><br />With the Bush's and Reagans of the world you can't even go there with Obama spending. Is the debt higher now? Sure, so is inflation so it isn't apples to apples. Until you bash Reagan and Bush for the same shit, get off the Obama spending bullshit.<br /><br />And if you are serious about cutting spending then you need to start looking at the biggest drain on our governments resources...The Military...Not the NEA, not fat black ladies on welfare, not Social Security but the Trillion dollars per year we spend on the military and maintaining our Empire.Toad734https://www.blogger.com/profile/01450263690181812924noreply@blogger.com
