(1)TRT lied, and said federal spending wasn't going down, I have shown different.



(2) Have I ever, even remotely, asked anyone here to like me?

(1) Federal spending is not going down. Hoot posted the projection was for 22.8 trillion by the end of Obama's second term, a fact I have posted several times for months. The economy under W had to absorb more than 3 tillion dollars of loss due to 9/11. The debt rose 5 trillion over 8 years of W's administration. The debt for Obama's 8 years in office will be over 12 trillion for the same period of time. Now, you can stroke it any way you want that's growth in spending even by in Keynesian Kook terms.

(2) You are starting to succeed with me! :biggrin:
