You never commented on the budget?
What do you think we've been talking about?
You even linked to the budget (big progress, by the way - few make it that far).

You have identified one piece of legislation that we can credit Obama for.
Stimulus (half the cost of the 2001 tax cuts, incidentally).
It adds $145 billion to the deficit (202.3 billion cost in the budget proposal) this year.

Only $1.2+ trillion more new spending to go to explain the deficit increase (the massive spending).

The budget screamers love trotting out that graph (post #28) - but for some reason they always fail to want to understand how those numbers came about.

Or maybe they do know, which is why they are silent - and stick to the most basic numbers which help them illustrate that Obama=bad man.

I can read, and I get what we were talking about. I also "get" Obama's budget and agree with most of it. I have a problem with the "basic" tarp funds and his use of the stimulus.

Never said he was bad, calm down.

first, let's find those famous WMDs!
