re: #352 Ben Hur

It’s not a record anymore.

It’s been tripled in less than half the time.

And during the worst recession since the Great Depression, not during the longest period of economic growth in a generation.

You are comparing apples and oranges by comparing Clinton’s/Bush’s economy to what’s happening during Obama’s term.

I repeat - what was the money spent on? You cannot simply compare one money stack to another. If the 94 - 08 crowd spent it on green lantern rings (Iraq), and the Ds spent it on infrastructure and health care reform, which will help stop the runaway spending on health care - how is that bad? I’m not saying it can’t be proven, but “you spent more than me” doesn’t mean anything. It’s like saying someone’s $10,000 401k investment was more “wasteful” than someone’s $3,000 bar tab because it cost more.
