Al, Obama increased the federal budget by $500 billion. This while most states had to reduce theirs, especially here in California. The excuse, of course, is that Obama was just trying to stimulate the economy, but I believe Obama would have used any excuse to increase the budget by that much. Obamacare, saving the planet, spreading the wealth, and of course, giving back to all of his Democrat supporters who helped him get elected. Face it Al, Obama is just like Bush. Any excuse to increase the deficit. It's no longer just Bush's mess. Tenchusatsu

Well, so much for an attempt at reasonable exchange...you may want to read what I posted...obama's 2009 budget deficits are no more no less the product of what he inherited. The stimulus is all his. But even without the stimulus. Look at years 2010-2019. Every year is the worse that the worst year of Bush administration.

>> obama's 2009 budget deficits are no more no less the product of what he inherited. Then why are you unwilling to state what the budget projection as of September 2008 -- which was what tejek first talked about -- amounted to? Was it 1.2 Trillion? 1.6 Trillion? HOW MUCH WAS IT? It is a simple matter to compare the estimated deficit in September with the estimated deficit in January -- a period during which the most significant event was the election of a new president, who the world knew was inexperienced in economic affairs. Then, you will know how much of the deficit should be attributed to the incoming president.
