Don't buy into the BS about record spending under Obama.



From your article

Carney said. "I think it is simply a fact that despite the enormous challenges that this country faced when the president took office ... this president has demonstrated significant fiscal restraint."

If $1.5T deficits is financial restraint, I would hate to see a spending binge

Unlike you, he does not deny record spending, but tries to justify it by saying the rate of increase is lower. That is the same math that Democrats use to count spending reductions. This year we spent $100B, next year we planned to spend $150, but we can cut spending $20B by only spending $130B. So a $30B increase is sold as a $20B decrease.
