11/25: Obama Shatters Spending Record for First-Year Presidents
Posted by Editor on November 25, 2009 · 2 Comments
President Obama has shattered the budget record for first-year presidents — spending nearly double what his predecessor did when he came into office and far exceeding the first-year tabs for any other U.S. president in history.
In fiscal 2009 the federal government spent $3.52 trillion — $2.8 trillion in 2000 dollars, which sets a benchmark for comparison. That fiscal year covered the last three-and-a-half months of George W. Bush’s term and the first eight-and-a-half months of Obama’s.
If you SERIOUSLY don’t understand where those numbers come from, then you haven’t been paying attention.
We didn’t suddenly wake up here on January 20, 2009.
WHERE WERE YOU FOR THE LAST 8 YEARS???????
Sitting on your fat behinds loving everything Bush did because you don’t know a conservative from a hole in the ground.
If you seriously CAN’T or AREN’T ABLE to understand that what was Bad has been MADE EVEN WORSE, then get your head out of what you are sitting on. ARE YOU A GOVERNMENT FLUKIE, JUNKIE, OR AN ACORN MEMBER?
