Fiscal 2009 began Oct. 1, 2008. That was before Obama was elected, and nearly four months before he took office on Jan. 20, 2009.
President Bush signed the massive spending bill under which the government was operating when Obama took office. That was Sept. 30, 2008. As The Associated Press noted, it combined “a record Pentagon budget with aid for automakers and natural disaster victims, and increased health care funding for veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan.”
Bush also signed, on Oct. 3, 2008, a bank bailout bill that authorized another $700 billion to avert a looming financial collapse (though not all of that would end up being spent in fiscal 2009, and Obama later signed a measure reducing total authorized bailout spending to $475 billion).
On Jan. 7, 2009 — two weeks before Obama took office — the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office issued its regular budget outlook, stating: “CBO projects that the deficit this year will total $1.2 trillion.”
CBO attributed the rapid rise in spending to the bank bailout and the federal takeover of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac – plus rising costs for unemployment insurance and other factors driven by the collapsing economy (which shed 818,000 jobs in January alone).
Another factor beyond Obama’s control was an automatic 5.8 percent cost of living increase announced in October 2008 and given to Social Security beneficiaries in January 2009. It was the largest since 1982. Social Security spending alone rose $66 billion in fiscal 2009, and Medicare spending, driven by rising medical costs, rose $39 billion.

If you read any of my post you will see I never bash or disrespect anyone just because I disagree with them. If provoked I will occasionally retaliate, if I think it is worth the trouble. Those such as I.B.H. are not worth the effort. I do align more with moderate Dems but like I have said before I don't believe in party lines. It impossible for half of America to agree on everything and the other half agree on the opposing side.
I support Obama on most issues Biden is odd at best. I would have been happy with McCain but not Palin. I liked Bush but not Cheney. I Think Marco Rubio would be a great President with Maybe McCain as VP or Huntsman. The only Republicans I have any axes to grind with are Tea party-ist and religious nuts.
I feel like you are judging me by the novice sparring I did with I.B. before I realized its much different here than Co-ed or the Locker room. I try to stay civil and to the point. Not really a grand stander like some are.

BTW, slingblade, figured you out first, and all you really needed to say was:
Now that I am enlightened I no longer need your services, so have a good one pal. And thanks for the warm up I have found much better sparring partners. But keep an eye out for those newbies that haven't yet wised up to your agenda. Them Dems are multiplying like rabbits so be careful out there on the front lines. Originally Posted by slingblade

Then I was admonished because I was lumped in with whomever you and I.B. are pissed at.
