They’ve spent 3 TRILLION DOLLARS in the past 18 months. No previous president can even come close to those kinds of numbers.

I think you’re mistaken. Can you break down this 3 trillion dollars of new spending?

Most of it is bailout and stimulus. Should Bush and Obama have just let the banks and insurance companies collapse? That would have made our current mess look like an economic boom.

The stim is over 10 years. And the bailouts have mostly been paid back. That’s not a net loss of 3 trillion.
