Z,
The 2009 budget coming in had a deficit of $1.2 trillion.
Obama was president in 2009. Maybe you didn't know.

Either way, you're still avoiding the real issue here, which is your hypocrisy when it comes to fiscal discipline.

If a Republican spends $400B more than he's taking in, it's bad because it must be on wars. But if a Democrat spends $1.2T more than he's taking in, it's good because it must be for food, shelter, and lowering sea levels.

This is EXACTLY the kind of mentality that will keep the federal debt ticking upwards for decades to come. The current old geezers in Washington won't have to deal with it, but our generation will.

Why do you insist on continuing the same kind of insanity you see in Washington?
