Since 1970, spending has grown 64% faster when a Republican sits in the White House than when a Democrat does.
…
In the twelve years that a Democrat has sat in the White House, spending has increased at an average rate of 1.29% per year; during the 22 years of Republican presidencies, government spending has risen at an average rate of 2.12%. In other words, spending has grown 64% faster when a Republican sits in the White House than when a Democrat does.
During the 20 years Democrats have controlled both houses of Congress, spending has grown at an average rate of 1.84% per year, more than double the average rate of 0.89% per year during the six years the GOP ran Congress. (During the other eight years, when control of Congress was split between the two parties, spending grew at an average rate of 2.52%. The split-control years all occurred during Republican presidencies.)
When Democrats controlled the White House plus both houses of Congress, spending grew at 1.70% per year, slightly below the average growth rate of 1.83% for the entire period.
The slowest spending growth occurred when a Democrat sat in the White House and Republicans controlled both houses of Congress. Spending rose by an average of just 0.89% during the six years of this situation, which all occurred with Bill Clinton as president and Newt Gingrich as Speaker of the House.
During the 14 years Republicans controlled the White House and Democrats controlled both houses of Congress, spending grew at an average annual rate of 1.92%. During the eight years with a Republican president and a split Congress, spending grew at 2.54% per year.
The results are quite clear – not only do Republican presidents spend far more money, but they often spend it on such “necessities” as creating wars.

As important as it is to help soon to be ex-president Obama become gainfully
employed after his term ends its a lock as to what Michelle will be
doing. The highly respected position of School Lunch Lady.

Name the true "spending" bills that congress has passed and that Obama has signed.
300 billion in tax CUTS that Obama signed into law? No, that is not a spending bill.
Perhaps the 500 billion given to the 50 States to maintain Medicaid and Police and Fireman, brought on by the Republican RECESSION right after he took office?
Yes, that would be "spending".
---
Medicare, Social Security, and the Military budget perhaps?
Let's see, NO politician is going to cut those, and neither did Bush and his Republicans.
Now, "compare" Obama's "spending" to Republican Reagan and Bush's "spending".
Go ahead, refute the charts and facts from the CBO I have presented.
I will wait for you to refute the Congressional Budget Office, in detail.
Show us your powerful intellects, and present credible sources facts to back you up.
Either that, or shut your ignorant vague talking points mouths.

Donald is too dumb to realize that the deficit has gone down under Obama and that the "debt" was inherited from this clown.
"Mission Accomplished! I spent more money in pursuit of a legacy than anyone ever. I started a process that has devastated the economy and virtually destroyed the middle clas. (Screw 'em, I'm rich.) I was at the helm when contracts were awarded to companies run, or "formerly run" by friends, family, and the standing vice president. I usurped states rights in pursuit of my own goals by having the Supreme Court (some of whom were nominated by my father...) rule on an election issue in a state where my brother was Governor. I got to dress up like a pilot and land on an aircraft carrier even though my own time as a military pilot ended under mysterious circumstances, and the paperwork "went missing." Damn, I'm awesome!"
Taken from the internet...the truth is everywhere.

Chicago in 5 years if Obama continues his dismantling of America
Said dismantling begun by Ronnie Raygun, but let's overlook that.

At least Raygun started his own recession.

The origins of the inflation of the late 1970s and early 1980s go back to policies of Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter and Reagan. Lots of blame to go around.
And Carter was by most accounts a moderate/centrist Democrat. Much like Obama in terms of policy, perhaps.

An economic 'index' which identifies one of its measures as "unemployement" is hardly worth taking seriously.

TWO THIRDS OF THE NATIONAL DEBT WAS ADDED BY REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTS.
PERIOD, DO YOU GET THIS, DUMB FUKS?
REPUBLICANS SHOULD NEVER, EVER, BE ALLOWED TO HANDLE MONEY.
THEY PISS IT AWAY, LIKE IRRESPONSIBLE LITTLE CHILDREN.
SPEND SPEND SPEND SPEND SPEND, THAT'S ALL THEY KNOW HOW TO DO.

Because Reagan had a 32 per cent approval rating and won by a landslide. He also didn't two wars and the great recession created by republicans to deal with.

Ripetrad....The only chance the repubflickins have is if the birthers can raise more suspicion about Obama's fake birth certificate and the florida supreme court gets to pretend that equal protection only belongs to a republican candidate...That would be slim and none so you better get use to sleeping with the tea baggers and assorted other fringe types...RJ
