re: #370 BryanS

So you’re calling Obama’s first year “Bush’s” last year? In a way that’s true, but Obama was responsible for shepherding through the spending increases with the $1 trillion stimulus bill. As I say, not all his fault, but a bit disingenuous to claim none of it was Obama’s call.

Ahem.

Reuters - who know this shit - are saying that.

take it up with them - you wanted a link you got a link.

08/09 was the last year of the Bush Budget (Obama was sworn in on 20th Jan 2009) - how much chance did his spending have to affect the last BUSH budget deficit given that spending decisions are made a year in advance?.
