A Handy Source of Fiscal Data, or "How Their Naked Ears Were Tortured By The Horseman's Ruthless Cipherin"

[The5thHorseman]

As many of you may have noticed, this here Horseman has zero tolerance for Graduates of the Maria Bartiromo School of Duh!

Accordingly, one of her attentives has been taking a ferocious macing at the side of my steed (why he clings to my stirrup, I cannot fathom).

Specifically, we are examining the conceit that "Democrats spend like drunken sailors" and are therefore not only complicit in, but largely responsible, for our current level of Debt Held by The Public.

To do so, we will compares CAGRs (Compound Annual Growth Rates) of spending and revenue collection for each POTUS going back to 1979.

The numbers are as follows (in billions)



At t=0, Sept 30, 1981

Spending - 678.2 Revenue - 599.3


Reagan (end of term)

Spending - 1143
Revenue - 991

Annual Growth Rates
6.7%/6/4%


Bush

Spending - 1409
Revenue -1154

5.36/3.88

Clinton

Spending - 1862
Revenue - 1991

3.5/7.05


Bush II
Spending - 3517
Revenue - 2105

8.3/0.7

Obama

Spending - 3981
Revenues - 3316

1.56/5.8


Trump

Spending - 4.7*
Revenues - 3.5*

5.7/1.8


* to avoid the bitter tears and recriminations, I have used Grifty's last WH Budget request, and extrapolated the deficit based on trend. Subtracting this from Outlays should be equal to Revenues.

Will this require further elaboration?

You have NO excuses now. I've done all the work.

See above.

After all your yakyak, you didn't contribute a whit.

You can't even determine which of 2 numbers is larger...

Are you beginning to understand how stupid all your clever slogans are?

Ok, let's talk numbers.

Bush II
Spending - 3517

Why did you use this as Bush's ending number?

Because that is what the record indicates.

I know where you're going.

The answer is "4%".

Run away.

Run away.

Toddy,

You haven't done shit to date, except bleed.

You didn't contribute a single data point, did none of the math, and won't even acknowledge which of two numbers is larger.

You've been debarked....you're a fraud.


Here's the source.

Now answer the question while you have a leg to lean on.

Look at the citation provided.

Look at the corresponding year.

Accept that you are a moron.

Desperately queef something about Scrub not signing the FY2009 budget.

Be humiliated by the facts, again.

I saw the citation. I also remember the history.

Did Bush sign all the 2009 spending?

And why would you count Obama slush fund...err...stimulus spending against Bush?

Is it because you're a moron?
