Al, > The budget from 2008 to 2009 went up by less than 900B

Don't know where you get your false statistics from, but think about that $900B figure. It's almost a trillion, and well above the half a trillion that I mentioned.

Anyway, from 2008 (FY2009) to 2009 (FY2010), the budget went from $3.1 trillion to $3.55 trillion in total expenditures requested:

Doesn't matter whether it's discretionary or "mandatory." It's all under the control of the Democrats now.
