Liberals
are still trying to tell everyone that Bush is a bigger spender than
Obama. What I look at are the total debt
figures published by the US Treasury. Using Treasury figures, the total federal
debt now stands at $18.15 trillion. On 9/30/2009 at the start of the first full
fiscal year of the Obama administration, the debt was $11.91 trillion. Doing
the math gives an increase of $6.24 trillion so far for Obama. On 9/30/2001,
the start of the first full fiscal year after Bush took office, the debt was at
$5.81 trillion. Subtracting that from the 11.91 trillion in 2009, we get $6.1
trillion for Bush's full 8 years. Using just simple math and US government
figures, Obama is already ahead with more than 2 years to go. The figures liberals
are using are contrived to hide what's actually going on. The net debt figures
are never messed with. These are readily available figures, but they are never
mentioned on MSNBC, because liberals believe that welfare comes from an always
full pot of gold at the end of the rainbow and never has to be worked for or
paid for.
