We better start downsizing our house cars whatever because we are all going to be paying more taxes sooner or later.

They are taking us to new lows. The spending is unbelievable.

Amazing he is proposing this large of a budget after prancing around the country last week talking about "fiscal responsibility". Is Obama simply an idiot?

I still vote to blame Bush.

What type of response were you looking for? One which proclaimed the OP and the $3.8 Trillion was wrong?

By way of comparison, the FY2010 budget was $3.721 trillion; the FY2009 budget, presented by President George W. Bush, was $3.518 trillion.

So blaming Bush doesn't seem so far-fetched. We've been dealing with trillion $ budgets for some time now.

Lets look at the increase to the deficit by Obamas budget and Bush.

Doesn't matter. All that matters to Obama-trons is that Bush was a republican, many republicans are for fiscal conservativism, so Bush had to be for fiscal conservativism.

On another note, a car has wheels, an amphibious vehicle can float on water and has wheels, therefore a car can float on water. Why didn't this work for fine statesmen like Teddy?

People are waking up to the two visions of change. The one perceived vision, and the agendas vision. The two are not even remotely similar.
