Um... hunh? That graph makes Obama look good and conservatives/Republicans look really really bad. It feeds their argument. Why are you posting it and helping them?

Spending isn't going down under Obama from the Bush years as this shows. And it doesn't even factor in inflation.

What a dumb unhelpful graph.

I meant: "Spending isn't going UP under Obama from the Bush years as we know but this doesn't show. And it doesn't even factor in inflation.

You have a point, but it is a reactionary one. The FY 2009 budget was supposed to be a temporary budget, it just happened to coincide with Obama coming into power. Never mind the fact that Obama has wanted to spend more, a lot more!

I've been saying for a while that Democrats don't believe in math. I didn't realize that they'd also given up on arithmetic.

Allan:

If you believe Bush's record breaking spending warpath was just a one-time thing, I've got a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you.

After Reagan and before the recession, Bush was responsible for the biggest spending increases in US history.

Or you could actually read the link, hunh?

Hunh?:

Compared to the increase in FY09 spending, the wars are actually quite small. My point was that FY09 was supposed to be temporary spending, wasn't that what all the keynesian economists were talking about?

I did not like the Bush deficit spending spree, and I dont like the three-fold increased deficit spend under 0blabla.

It's amazing that the left still supports Obama even though he's doing nothing different than what Bush did during his two terms. No doubt the Republicans will do the same when Romney is elected this fall--not that I'm hoping he wins, you understand.

It's not so much that as they seldom tell the truth and then they have to lie their way out of it.

Here is a good explanation of the MarketWatch article. The lefty is lying, as usual:

Just another example of how everything about the Democratic Party's re-election campaign is just plain dishonest. No party can lie like the Dems!

About Kate

Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.

This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio - "You don't speak for me."
