Surely, you aren't referring to that minuscule, immaterial "drop" on the tail of that chart?


Look at the chart again. There was a rise in spending at the start of the administration, mainly due to increased military spending, food stamps and unemployment. Most of the increases in spending came under Bush.

>> Because unemployment is vastly improved...........check out all the metro areas with unemployment less than 5%..........three years ago there were maybe 3 or 4;

Unemployment is NOT improved. You're looking at the meaningless statistic. The real unemployment rate is reflected in U6. Even the bogus figure you're looking at is basically unchanged since the day Obama took office.

Unemployment has improved.........you can believe or not. Your choice.
