Who Is The Smallest Government Spender Since Eisenhower? Would You Believe It's Barack Obama?
2,446 comments, 420 called-out
It’s enough to make even the most ardent Obama cynic scratch his head in confusion.

Amidst all the cries of Barack Obama being the most prolific big government spender the nation has ever suffered, Marketwatch is reporting that our president has actually been tighter with a buck than any United States president since Dwight D. Eisenhower.

Who knew?


Yep, Obama's a Big Spender...Just Like His Predecessors

that's more truthful than that he has spent MORE THAN ALL COMBINED

although, the debt has actually gone up , something different than what has been 'spent'

Percent increase is an exponential curve. If you compare actual dollars spent instead of percentages, you get a completely different picture.

G.W.Bush geared up for two wars and closed the donut hole in prescription med costs for medicare ... both were huge expenditures.

Obama just plain increased government, government spending, and welfare entitlements.

Debt is a sign of excessive expenditures for those who do not understand.

That would be Obozo and his supporters, as well as most of DC...... bigsmile

Central Banks/Federal Reserve will never make that any better! Their debt system is only an illusion of wealth.....and the veil is dropping!
