    B-b-b-ut that was Carter’s fault!
    Also, stop blaming Bush for what Obama did!
    Give me some time to reconcile these contradictory beliefs!

    Since this appears in the WSJ, the deniers are out in full force. I know, it can’t possibly be true, he’s a Democrat for God’s sake.

      The comments are hilarious.

    Notice how the “tax and spend liberals” have lower spending growth than those “fiscally conservative” Republicans…

    Someone should inform the Republican Party that they can’t claim to be the party of fiscal conservatism while simultaneously spending money faster than Democrats.

      If it wasn’t for all the regulations Obama has enforced, it would have been lower….lol. Fox News Monkey Mill heads are exploding on this one.

      I think I’ve made a couple of wingnuts’ tiny, tiny brains lock up by pointing out that taxing and spending IS fiscally responsible while the borrowing and spending of the rupublicans is decidedly not.

    This doesn’t matter. Fox’s audience will never believe this. Obama will go down in history as the biggest spender ever no matter what the truth is.

    Are you truly informed for the November decision?

    That would require taking in info from different perspectives if you claim to be equally informed.

    The following link is a direct reply to the chart and article mentioned in this ‘Chart of the Day’ post.

    Or do you just spew vulgarities at those who dare ask or offer differing information from the information you are submissive to?
