>> The budget from 2008 to 2009 went up by less than 900B, part of which was TARP and ARRA...discretionary went up 7% of less than 90B. One big difference is that revenues declined by almost 350B...

Why are you even talking about this measley nonsense?

Obama's own proposed budget over 10 years generates 9.1 Trillion in deficits. I think most people acknowledge these figures are a substantial understatement of how big the deficit is likely to be during this period, if he has his way.

Health care reform, should it pass in its current form, will easily run the figure to 10 or 11 trillion, and cap-and-trade, should it pass, who knows how many additional trillions.

Now, they're wanting to BLOW the TARP funds that have come back. Literally BLOW it on a liberal bash like a bunch of 18-year old who fell ass-backward into a pile of money (even better, charged against GWB's budget -- nobody will even notice).

And you're talking about the 2009 budget difference caused by Obama? That ought to be the very least of our worries. It is the next four years that would scare the shit out of Frankenstein.
