Who Is The Smallest Government Spender Since Eisenhower? Would You Believe It's Barack Obama? - Forbes
The article's a couple months old, so I apologize if this has been talked about a lot already. But I'd be really interested to see how Conservatives spin this here on this board. It seems like every time a link to factual data analysis is posted that doesn't paint Obama as a tax 'n' spend Lib it's a freakout, the data is called "lies" and we see the same old shit trotted out as to why Obama is a secret socialist and is killing our economy.
So what say you, board Conservatives, why is this story wrong, exactly?
Who Is The Smallest Government Spender Since Eisenhower? Would You Believe It's Barack Obama? - Forbes
Amidst all the cries of Barack Obama being the most prolific big government spender the nation has ever suffered, Marketwatch is reporting that our president has actually been tighter with a buck than any United States president since Dwight D. Eisenhower.
Of course, the Heritage Foundation is having none of it, attempting to counter the actual numbers by pretending that the spending initiated by the Bush Administration is the fault of Obama. As I understand the argument Heritage is putting forth and I have provided the link to the Heritage rebuttal so you can decide for yourselfMarketwatch, in using the baseline that Obama inherited, is making it too easy on the President.
