Your graph doesn't bother to say what it is (federal outlays in nominal dollars), it lies by showing 2003-04 as mixed when both houses were Republican controlled, and it deceives by using an FY2009 "estimate" of $3.94 trillion when the actual was $3.52 trillion, under the circumstances, a fairly modest increase over the $2.98 trillion from FY2008, the difference being less than the amount of ARRA alone...
What exactly are we supposed to stand aside and learn? Democrats controlling the our laws, our budgets, our legislation and regulation ability since 2006, and you want us to step aside and learn what? How to destroy a nation single handily?.
Let's be honest here. Republicans had their chance 1995-2007, but they dropped the ball. We saw spending and expansion of government every year. Who knows, maybe they'll get another change soon, but I don't expect them to do anything different that the 1995-2007 republicans of the current Dems.

So you pretended you didnt know what the graph was, while clearly you did, and then you went on to dispute the accuracy of it, while validating they were estimates made by the Obama administration.
Wow, he was only $400 BILLION off on his projections, I guess we should be thankful they were in the postive!!
Which do you want to cut first, Social Security or Medicare?
Talk about pulling plug on grandma......
Wait, Obama said we can cut $500 Billion from Medicare right? Isnt that how they are planning to pay for national healthcare? Why the big concern now over $60B in cuts when Obama is proposing similar cuts per year?
