Obama 1st Term Spending up 24% vs. Bush's Last Term

[rightwinger]

Just for reference..

Did the Bush spending include the two wars that he was keeping off the books?

The Congress was FREE to defund it at anytime weren't they?

Try to keep up with the thread...

The Bush wars were funded as supplemental appropriations and were not part of the Bush budget. When Obama came in, he insisted on the wars being reported as part of the budget

Some more handy excuses and scapegoats that Obama uses to flower over his atrocious record: George W Bush, faced Economic ”headwinds", Uncooperative Republicans drinking “Slurpees”, Congressional inaction, Super PAC ad spending, George W Bush, lack of stimulus money, Economic woes of Spain, Italy, Greece, George W. Bush, ATM usage, airport ticket kiosks, the Arab Spring, Japanese tsunami, George W Bush, Oil speculators, The Evil 1%, White man's greed, Trayvon Martin, George W Bush.

The lying never stops.

Except... the statistics come from OUTLAYS of the fiscal years, not just the budgeted amounts.:

Nice try. Well. No. Not really.

Those numbers don't appear to be adjusted for inflation.

If I'm wrong, so be it.
