There was a higher chance that Romney would have charted a different course than Obama. And that's proving to be true. Wow... thanks for continuing to prove your idiocy... Rmoney, who would have let GM go bankrupt and would have cut taxes further on himself and his plutocrat buddies leading to further economic malaise and more disparity of wealth and would have defunded Obamacare throwing more people out on the streets... Rmoney and Paul Ryan, what a freaking joke... not to mention his opinions on foreign policy is about on par with the extremist/dunce Sarah Palin thanks for continuing to prove you are a selfish social conservative and as for as economics go you truly are totally clueless Obama Smallest Spender Since Eisenhower Amidst all the cries of Barack Obama being the most prolific big government spender the nation has ever suffered, Marketwatch is reporting that our president has actually been tighter with a buck than any United States president since Dwight D. Eisenhower. It might have something to do with the first year of the Obama presidency where the federal budget increased a whopping 17.9% —going from $2.98 trillion to $3.52 trillion. I’ll bet you think that this is the result of the Obama sponsored stimulus plan that is so frequently vilified by the conservatives…but you would be wrong. The first year of any incoming president term is saddled—for better or for worse—with the budget set by the president whom immediately precedes the new occupant of the White House. Indeed, not only was the 2009 budget the property of George W. Bush—and passed by the 2008 Congress—it was in effect four months before Barack Obama took the oath of office. Accordingly, the first budget that can be blamed on our current president began in 2010 with the budgets running through and including including fiscal year 2013 standing as charges on the Obama account, even if a President Willard M. Romney takes over the office on January 20, 2013.
