Why complain over obamas one trillion spending when bush borrowed and spent 5 trillion.?

Here are the facts, according to the official government statistics: In the 2009 fiscal year — the last of George W. Bush’s presidency — federal spending rose by 17.9% from $2.98 trillion to $3.52 trillion. Check the official numbers at the Office of Management and Budget.

In fiscal 2010 — the first budget under Obama — spending fell 1.8% to $3.46 trillion. In fiscal 2011, spending rose 4.3% to $3.60 trillion. In fiscal 2012, spending is set to rise 0.7% to $3.63 trillion, according to the Congressional Budget Office’s estimate of the budget that was agreed to last August.

Finally in fiscal 2013 — the final budget of Obama’s term — spending is scheduled to fall 1.3% to $3.58 trillion. Read the CBO’s latest budget outlook. Over Obama’s four budget years, federal spending is on track to rise from $3.52 trillion to $3.58 trillion, an annualized increase of just 0.4%.

There has been no huge increase in spending under the current president, despite what you hear. http://articles.marketwatch.com/2012-05-... http://www.washingtonpost.com/business/e...

First - don't know about the others, but Bush got congress to approve alll that spending for the wars as supplements, in other words, off the budget; so his budgets looked spiffy-keen but his overspending was all off budget. Second - the President does not have the power to spend money or pass a budget, all of these powers rest with the congress. All.

(congress - article 1 section 8; president, article 2; US Constitution) You should read the constitution one of these days.....

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
