Of all the falsehoods told about President Barack Obama, the biggest whopper is the one about his reckless spending spree.
As would-be president Mitt Romney tells it: “I will lead us out of this debt and spending inferno.”
Almost everyone believes that Obama has presided over a massive increase in federal spending, an “inferno” of spending that threatens our jobs, our businesses and our children’s future. Even Democrats seem to think it’s true.
But it didn’t happen. Although there was a big stimulus bill under Obama, federal spending is rising at the slowest pace since Dwight Eisenhower brought the Korean War to an end in the 1950s.
Another right wing lie debunked.
Obama spending binge never happened
Commentary: Government outlays rising at slowest pace since 1950s

Government spending under Obama, including his signature stimulus bill, is rising at a 1.4% annualized pace slower than at any time in nearly 60 years.
Right...No control.Oh, so the $5 trillion in new debt is just a figment of everyone's imagination.
I'm so relieved.
You should be. Obama has no control over non discretionary spending.
You couldn't graduate your way out of a grade school lavatory, pinhead.That is true, but it requires a grade school graduate to understand it.
Who is Christopher Chantrill?
Recently I stumbled on a rather vocal, and extremely articulate conservative by the name of Christopher Chantrill.
Christopher Chantrill - Home Page
At his site he has compiled a lot of economic data easily searchable at
Federal State Local Government Revenue in United States for 2012 - Charts Tables...
I don't know what to make of him. He is a follower of Ludwig von Mises, F.A. Hayek, Leo Strauss, and Eric Voegelin, a supporter of Sarah Palin, a climate skeptic but numbers are numbers and his charts are not easily dismissible. My question for all you Kossacks out there is, who is this Chantrill, and how reliablle are his data?
Obama spent more than any president since the great depression!
Another liar who's too dumb to know the difference between discretionary and nondiscretionary spending. Keep living the lie.

No goal post is being moved. Obama's growth of the federal government is the lowest since the '50s. That's what the OP states, and that's what the fact is. But keep on lying.

FACT: Obama increased government spending from 35% to 43% of GDP. That is an 8% increase no matter how you liers try to spin it. It is also the largest amount of government spending since the great depression.
Oh, so the $5 trillion in new debt is just a figment of everyone's imagination.
I'm so relieved.
