Only half of the government spending under Obama was because of policy change

[Billy000]

The other half was a response in combatting the recession.

Biased source? Yes, but their numbers do not lie.

Cool. So you can explain to me how the $1.9m "stimulus" for researchers to study ants in Africa helped us through the recession?

How about the $357,710 to 'make over' a furnace that sat abandoned for almost 150 years so that historians can 'study' it?

How about that $308m for a power plant (that's actually owned by a private company.... BP) that won't actually provide any power for two years?

Or the $89,298 for new sidewalks that lead to a ditch? (Those sidewalks were only 5 years old anyway)

Or the $39.7m to upgrade the offices and parking for politicians in Kansas?

True, but those numbers are out of trillions spent on importance.

So Obama spent hundreds of millions of dollars on training for Chinese prostitutes, airports to nowhere, and bridges for turtles.
The rest he just wasted.

No wonder this country is a clusterfuck.... people like you are the problem. There is a huge list of fucking ridiculous, obscene amounts of money being pissed away by this Adminstration... and this is the best response you have? That it's true but so what? How the fuck did you get to be so old and learn so little?

True, and many of those 'stimulus' projects actually destroyed other businesses and cost thousands of jobs.... but where is the left wing outrage about those jobs?

The total fucking ignorance of the OP is just breathtaking.

It's what Bastiat called "what is not seen." People saw stimulus money being spent. THey didnt see jobs not being created by businesses fearful of coming taxes and regulations.

You're right.
Breath-taking is an understatement.

There is a list demonstrating that billions of taxpayers dollars was wasted on ridiculous projects that added no jobs, no infrastructure, no value whatsoever and you say that's ok. I find that breathtakingly ignorant.

You are nothing more than an old fool.... and there is no fool like an old fool.

How old do you think I am exactly?

 

[Stephanie]

You have to wonder if the Billybob is on the Obama propaganda payroll..

I guess they think by posting all THE WASTE this man has done with their taxpayers monies and help add trillions of dept, and we STILL have around 9% unemployment...that Majority of people will change their minds in thinking he shouldn't be re-elected..

If Obama spent so much, what did he spend it on?

The wars were started by Republicans.

The drugs for votes bill was passed by Republicans.

The Bush tax cuts were passed by Republicans.

The cost of taking care of tens of thousands of maimed from Iraq came from a Republican war.

The cost of the health care bill is much less than Republicans claim.

So what has Obama spent money on? The stimulus? Republicans took that money and created thousands of jobs. You can look that up state by state.

Bailing out the auto industry? They paid that back and are doing really well.

The banks? They paid that back.

So what did he spend the money on? It's not like he could just stop Republican policies.

Does that mean the other half is solely his responsibility? That means we can blame him for the deficit, since that, currently, is less than half of the budget.

No, you don't understand. He just got his BA last year, so now he knows everything.

We should count our blessings that we have a college edumucated guy around to let us know how the world works. Cuz none of the rest of us have degrees or anything.

That explains a lot.

This is the same guy that started a thread about how bad it is to actually follow the Constitution.
