44 makes 43 look like a cheapskate
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
When George W. Bush was president, I frequently complained to anyone who would listen that “he spent money like a Democrat.” I retrospect I was proven wrong by the American public who, in their infinite wisdom elected “one-term” Barack Obama. Obama has made Bush look like a tight-fisted cheapskate.

Richard,
Your complete ignorance of the financial history, for the last fifteen years, is astounding!
Before you open your ignorant mouth about something you know nothing about, please, just take a look at any chart showing historic spending as a percentage of GDP.
Yeah Rich, you want to listen to misanthropes trolls like jellio. He is an expert on everything!
Great idea Jellio! Let’s have a look at the facts:
The deficit for fiscal 2007 was 1.2% of GDP. This is the last budget adopted by the Republican-controlled Congress.
The deficit for 2008 was 3.2% of GDP.
Obama’s deficit for this year will be 13.1% of GDP, according to the CBO. That’s not a typo, it’s a jaw-dropping 13.1% of GDP! And just wait until the “savings” from Obamacare are added in, those will push the deficit even higher!
For your next act Jellio, please explain how it is that Richard and not you who is ignorant and knows nothing.
OCC, or whoever you are,
In your 2007 figures, are you taking into any ‘off the books spending for the Iraq War’?
There is NO doubt that no matter what Jellio will defend anything Obama does in spite of facts. To put it simply, Jellio is another Socialist party person who is nothing less than an idiot.
Richard, you are absolutely 100% correct. Jellio, the least you can do is admit the truth sometimes. This time was the dumbest thing you ever said, and you have said more than your share of dumb things!
OK, OCB,
You pulled the 1.2% off of a website that just like you and me, will never really know just how much Bush spent ‘Off Budget’. Estimates are between 3 and 4 trillion.
Don’t you have some FEMA Deathcamps to worry about?
Stupordave,
You’re still pissed that the Kenyan Birth Certificate plot didn’t pan out, aren’t you?
You, wingnuts, Stupor and Bunk,
You have proven, time and time again, that there are no depths that are too low for you to push your agenda. I’m sorry that you can’t deal with a Democrat as President, or a Black Man as President. Your country has not been taken away from you, you just lost an election. You will, eventually, no time soon I hope, get control again.
Keep telling yourself that jellio, if it makes you feel better about yourself. We know what the truth is, and soon, you will too.
I doubt if you can say anything dumber but I know you will sure try. Did I say anything about a birth certificate? I dont have time to mess with that stuff. You and your Socialist friends are trying to bring this country down at an alarming rate. You are doing the work of the muslim extremists in record time. Keep avoiding the subject.
