Obama is on track in his 8 years to have spent us into an increased 10 to 12 Trillion of added debt, doubling the the debt of every President before him combined, and you want to play semantics?
Obama called Bush 'unpatriotic' for in his words....
Now you tell me how, or why we shouldn't apply his own words here to what he is doing?
First of all, a lot of the spending done in Obama's first administration was due to the two wars Bush got us into. Obama has ended one of those wars and is drawing the other one to an end. That will reduce the amount of money we spend. Second, some of the spending Obama did during the first two years was in bail outs that are being paid back, so that spending will not continue either. The projection is that spending will decrease, no increase. NOw, if congress will get a jobs bill enacted and people can get back to work the debt will get paid back much quicker. Reagan taxed and spent us out of a recession and it worked. If Obama has a chance to finish what he has been trying to get done, we might end this recession once and for all and be back on the right track.
