What, we're supposed to pretend that Obama and Dems went on a massive spending spree just a month after he took office? Yes, let's pretend that. You're not even making sense now. Oh gosh, I made a grammar mistake. Yes, TARP was a one-time spending bill. Spending would have fallen to historical levels had Obama and Dems not boosted it to 25% of GDP. A record high during relative peacetime. Go ahead, tell your usual Democrat Talking Point Lies. That 'pretend' massive spending spree was called a stimulus bill. It was an effort to stimulate the economy left in shambles by the last guy. Congrats, that is the correct Democrat Talking Point Lie, as usual. You're such a fawning toady for the Democrat Party. Bush share some of the blame, but most falls on liberal policy and liberal Democrats. Fannie Mae, Freddy Mac and federal government-coerced mortgages were the primary cause. As even Bawney Fwank admitted. Who, BTW had a couple of stimulus bills himself, in case you forgot. Were you screaming about those, or did you just pocket the checks and keep quiet? You make it sound as if Obama and 'the Dems' were just spending for the hell of it. And you also make it sound as if they are still spending 'massively', which of course is not true. Present Perfect Progressive Tense Okay, you got me there. I have the tense wrong. They massively boosted spending to 25% of GDP just a month or so after he took office, and have worked as hard as they can to protect every penny. However, if Democrats still controlled Congress, they still would be raising spending. They are unable, simply because voters tossed them out in 2010. Now be a good toady and tell more lies.
