Obama has slowed federal spending more than the last five presidents

According to a study from OMB, CVO and Haver Analytics, President Obama has dramatically slowed federal spending; moreso than the last five presidents. The study directly contradicts what Republicans are saying – that Obama has hugely increased federal spending in his 4 year in office. See? Tada.

And that’s. The fact. Jack.

    ugh, another source posting this completely fabricated bullshit?

    Mr. Hepburn, D & T is usually somewhat credible. This is complete fucking horse shit, and I will tell you why.

    The 2009 budget was not passed by president Bush, because Democrats did not pass a budget for that year. Or the year before. Or the year after. Or the year after. Or the current year.

    When Bush left office the budget was 2.9 Trillion. In 2009, Barack Obama authorized over $3.7 Trillion in spending, and has authorized virtually that same amount every year.

    This means he has accelerated spending by over 15%, not your ridiculously dishonest 1.4% assertion.

    For your chart to even be remotely correct, you would have to claim that the economic stimulus plan of 2009, which he claims staved off a deeper recession, would have to be credited to George Bush.

    Please, remove this chart. It is completely, utterly and without exception the purest form of dishonest horse shit.

      Why don't you just say "I got nothin, so I'm going to bring up Ron Paul, which has nothing to do with anything but I'm a complete pussy that can't even defend my own publishing" ?

      Why don't you go contribute at Fox News? I hear they don't give a shit about reporting accurate information either.

      Go start your own website. Why don't you ease yourself off of your hemorrhoid donut and relax a little and stop straining for a fight. Its just a website. I'm just a guy. You're just a douchebag. Let's call the whole thing off.

      dude- just post factual shit and actually stand behind the things you post. Why is this such a foreign concept to you? If you're going to put your name on something, take 5 fucking minutes to actually verify what you're publishing.

      What is wrong with you?

      okay, how hard is this to understand?

      March 19: http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_162-57400369-503544/national-debt-has-increased-more-under-obama-than-under-bush/

      "(CBS News) The National Debt has now increased more during President Obama's three years and two months in office than it did during 8 years of the George W. Bush presidency.

      The Debt rose $4.899 trillion during the two terms of the Bush presidency. It has now gone up $4.939 trillion since President Obama took office.

      The latest posting from the Bureau of Public Debt at the Treasury Department shows the National Debt now stands at $15.566 trillion. It was $10.626 trillion on President Bush's last day in office, which coincided with President Obama's first day."

      Explain to me how it "never happened"

    For people that obviously forgot, there was thing called a recession that began back in 2008. No other president in recent years has ever had to deal with one that big and do not be mislead, Bush's policies caused it. When Obama took office, there was no money in the coffers and the economy was in absolute freefall or have you forgotten about that already? Borrowing from China to shore up the economy was indeed the only option we had back in 09, no matter who the president was. It's simply amazing how republicans talk about spending as if the recession didn't even happen, absolutely amazing.
