Karl Rove, George W. and the GOP House and Senate, began spending us into oblivion; Obama is just continuing the Bush legacy.
Obama’s spending is more than three fold of Bush's. Bush budget deficits were within the historical 2-3% of the country's GDP. Obama’s is 10% or more. If you cannot tell the difference between $200-$400 billion dollars and $1.6 Trillion, well you belong at DU.
