The difference between Bush and Obama in government spending

[Billy000]

From '00-08, Bush rose government spending to 3.2 trillion a year.

From '08-'11, the spending increased to 3.8 trillion a year. However, 3.2 trillion of that was still a result of Bush's policies. Which means Obama's contribution was only 800 billion extra per year. Not only that, but under Obama, spending began to decrease in 2011.

However, government spending is not the only thing that exploded the deficit. It was also a lack of government revenue which decreased significantly under Obama. That, I think, can be blamed on both Obama and Republicans. Obama for extending the Bush tax cuts, and Republicans for refusing to raise taxes.

Did anything oh say $8 trillion in REAL property, stock market losses occur due to :
1) Dot.com BUST.. $5 trillion loss!
2) Geez didn't 9/11 occur $2 trillion losses
3) And of course EVERYONE should know that the WORST hurricane SEASONS!! in history occurred that caused $1 trillion in LOSSES!

NOW YOU are EVIDENTLY totally UNAWARE that the IRS BEFORE BUSH allows
any individual (Including Obama who has for the last 3 years written off against income $300,000 against taxes he should have paid) to write off for the next 30 years their losses?
That means the $8 trillion in losses are canceling the taxes OWED i.e. Revenue to the govt at the rate of $267 billion a year since 2002!

But of course YOU are aware of that SO why didn't you take that into account?
If that $267 billion HAD not been deducted and if the traitor cheerleaders that helped prolong 3,000 deaths and $600 billion in Iraq.. Bush would have a surplus because HOmeland security which takes $600 billion, $600 billion more for Iraq and nearly $1 trillion in tax writeoffs would have created $2 trillion in non-spending and more revenue!
A surplus IF and that's the problem with people like you ..selective memories!
Why don't you admit to dot.com/9/11/worst hurricanes contributed $8 trillion in losses!
Admit $600 billion in HOmeland costs, $600 billion because traitors like you were happy that the US troops were getting killed and you and your fellow cheerleaders ENCOURAGED the Terrorists!

obama gives more lavish parties paid for on the taxpayer's dime. How much did the Halloween bash cost? Johnny Depp didn't fly in from France to be part of the fun. Bush never had a special pizza chef flown in from Chicago once a week for family pizza night.

It's surprising that democrats don't much mind the sound of flushing tax money down the toilet.

Which compares the explosion in spending on TWO wars under Bush, how?

Wrong yahoo.


Democrats invented the trillion dollar deficit. Gw just signed the dem package.

 

[Dr.Drock]

So we can all agree that both parties support wild out of control spending?


That'd be a great start.

 

[Twin Fist]

two wars which obama continued for the three years


whats your point?

Well, you know, that and the fact that the Bush administration has a recorded conviction against them for violating the Constitutional rights of Americans while the Obama administration hasn't.

That would be one other difference...

Are you dumb enough to think we can simply wind down both wars the INSTANT Obama took office? That point being said, I completely disagreed with Obama's "doubling down" on Afghanistan while he has been in office. The overriding point is that the OP was attempting to compare costs of a chef and parties against TRILLIONS of dollars Bush spent on his two unwinnable wars.
