BOTH parties are growing the government out of control, I would never fight you there, I'm disgusted with both...
But you are such a MSDNC shill, you do realize that this chart show 2 things right?
1. In the 6 years from 2000 to 2006, when Republicans controlled congress, spending went up 850 trillion dollars, and in the next 5 1/2 years after Dems took over, it went up 1,150 trillion. Both bad, but still.....
2. Since you are making this all about Bush and Obama, what this chart shows is that in only 2.5 years in office, Obama has spent more than 3/4 of what Bush increased spending by in 8 years. By holding to that current track, Obama, if he won a second term, would increase spending almost 3 times what Bush did.
I think you need to look more carefully at charts when making your points.
Better luck next time!
