How much over?

If I recall, Bush was running close to a trillion dollars deficit for a few years and we were not even in a recession.

Recessions call for deficit spending. They always have. When private money goes away, the government steps in.

I guess now that the mixed race dude is doing it it's suddenly a problem?

Now it's only over a trillion? Fox News always led me to believe he was spending like $20 trillion extra every six months.

It sucks that there is deficit spending at all, but it seems like nobody really cared what was being spent until Obama was sworn in. People mentioned it, but few were obsessed over it like so many are now.

I do like that people are paying attention to what the government is spending. The timing is questionable though.

I hope people continue to pay attention when it goes back to a 100% white person that is spending it!
