"Obama is increasing spending at an alarming rate.He will more than triple the record yearly deficit this year"

Well, that is dishonest. Not all of this year's budget deficit is spending. A great portion of it is reduced revenue due to the recession. $282 billion is in the form of tax cuts that are in the stimulus. $350 billion is the second half of TARP that Bush signed.

"His own projections show his plan added more debt in two years than any other president has in 4"

No, those aren't his projections. Your assumption is that the money spent to combat the Bush recession will be spent every year for his 8 years in office.


"and more in 4 years than any other president has in 8. That is insanity."

Bush has that record at 5.5 trillion. Obama isn't even close.


"We keep pointing this out and your response is always well cutting spending is insanity"

I didn't say cutting spending is insanity. I said cutting spending during a recession is insanity!


"Obama will spend more in deficit (according to his own numbers before Cap and Trade and Health care than all republican presidents together. "

GOP presidents are responsible for 8.5 trillion of our debt. Wanna try again?

"Problem is it is not just one time spending Obama is increasing, it is one time, and ongoing spending"

Such as?

health care? Between the eliminated Govt subsidies to hospitals for uninsureds who default, reductions in Medicaid/care that will be absorbed into the public option and other eliminated govt health care expenses.

It will be budget neutral.

Health care will cost less that your republican disaster in Iraq.

Be specific which of his policies will have limitless spending.

"By Obama's own number spending is not cut Revenues are increased. Revenues are increased by over 30 % what do you think that does to the economy?"

We had record revenues under Clinton and we had the best economy since the 1950s. In fact the 1950s were the biggest boom years in history and we also saw the highest level of taxation and revenues.

Your chicken littlism is contradicted by history and reality


"Actually you are correct. By your own admission the recession is over. Let cut spending. Let's Stop spending. Lets get government to live within it's means."

When we're in full recovery, that is an EXCELLENT plan. We in recovery now. The beginnings of it.
