>> Would have to? BULLSHIT... Well, that's a difference of opinion, which you're entitled to, but CBO isn't. >> You can't discount the fact that there was a near balanced budget at bush hand off and that the debt had been more than doubled at obama handoff.. Nor can I discount that after 9/11 it was necessary to spend a lot of money. Even if you disagree with the wars, we still had to spend a lot of money to insure that there wasn't another attack. But mostly, what I cannot discount, is that FDR and LBJ put in place programs that have bankrupted America. The rest of it, truthfully, is insignificant. The trillion dollars over 10 years for two wars? That doesn't bother me (hell, half of it comes back to the US anyway). The trillion dollars that Obama pissed away in one month? It pisses me off. A total waste.
