Two simple questions...

it's just the wreckless spending of a know nothing. barry loves government, and thinks america is great because of government. he does not recognize the individual.

If you are not alarmed by him increasing government spending by this amount, you must be an advocate of socialsim.

Obama is the friendly socialist.

Bush's record spending wasn't socialism, in your opinion?

It definitely was. Socialism for the wealthy, whose debts we are all now paying. So, what Bush instituted was socialism for the rich and capitalism for the rest of us.

But for some reason, you feel compassion for the poor billionaires.
