The point of the article is that there was a fire happening and rather
than putting it out, Bush simply added more fuel to it. And you might
see the government now spending 10 times more than Bush, but that's
because a) the damage Bush created requires 10 times more to fix it,
and b) at least Obama's annual spending rate has flatlined over the
last 3 years at an increase of only 1.4% compared to Bush's average
annual 10% increases. And flatlining is what must first happen before
things start to go down.

That is gibberish, which is where we started this thread.

Thank you for playing.

Try again tomorrow.

=============================================

I'd like to see numbers supporting the notion that Obama is now spending ten times what Bush did.
