* President Bush expanded the federal budget by a historic $700 billion through 2008. President Obama would add another $1 trillion. * President Bush began a string of expensive financial bailouts. President Obama has accelerated that course. * President Bush created a Medicare drug entitlement that will cost an estimated $800 billion in its first decade. President Obama is trying to accelerate health care change with a new government health care fund. * President Bush increased federal education spending 58 percent faster than inflation. President Obama would double it. * President Bush became the first President to spend 3 percent of GDP on federal antipoverty programs. President Obama has already increased this spending by 20 percent. * President Bush tilted the income tax burden more toward upper-income taxpayers. President Obama would continue that trend. * President Bush presided over a $2.5 trillion increase in the public debt through 2008. Setting aside 2009 (for which Presidents Bush and Obama share responsibility for an additional $2.6 trillion in public debt), President Obama’s budget would add $4.9 trillion in public debt from the beginning of 2010 through 2016.
Some "change" you liberal clowns voted in. It's the spending "stupid".
