President Obama: The Biggest Government Spender In World History

Easy mike, he will get the government out of the business of making it difficult on private businesses.

He cant spend shit.
Congress appropriates the money.
This is why the keep going on continuing resolutions so they cant keep spending. Originally Posted by The2Dogs

That's why runaway spending was partly Bush's fault. He didn't use his veto power to reign in spending. Deficit spending was also a problem in the Reagan administration. At least Reagan was building up the military with part of the money.

Doofus,
All government spending has to be cut, INCLUDING the DOD.
WE DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY!

The current level of spending would have happened no matter who is president. And the next president will top even this level of spending, even if it is Matt. What is cptjohnstone and COG going to say then? Originally Posted by BigLouie

I will say, "STOP SPENDING, YOU IDIOT!"

There, satisfied? If he keeps spending, I will call for his impeachment. I don't give a damn which party or who is in power, if they keep spending, they are destroying this country.

You're going to have to be way more specific. You say Romney will increase Obama's "current plan" by 25%. What does "current plan" mean? Twenty five percent of what? The debt? The yearly deficit? Total spending?

We've certainly gotten ourselves into a real economic mess and we're probably not going to balance the budget overnight. I keep hearing about trillion dollar deficits indefinitely. I hope to God Romney gets this thing under control, otherwise we're screwed. Originally Posted by joe bloe

supposedly 60% is an acceptable number to economic pundits ...


as noted during the campaign Romneys economic plans will/can increase the debt as much as 96% (related to GDP) by 2012 ... 26% more than Obies current debt ...


given the constant world ending moaning and the certain demise of the country with the PRESENT numbers being posted by Obie one would think the right would be at complete fiscal odds with Romney ...


if you rightwingers arent toatlly upset with that then you simply need to STFU about the debt ...

Nobody, including you, CBJ7, has provided a source for Romney's spending.

No.

You forget one basic truth. It takes people and money to get elected and when elected those people expect to get paid back in some fashion. In most cases this means tax breaks for them or spending on a project that directly benefits them. The next President will be no different. He will have people he will owe and his only way to replay this is through government spending.
