Here is a chart: |
As the chart says it is from the 2007 period of spending. If they redid the chart for 2010 it would show that the deficit has tripled since Obama came to office and the amount of money spent in all the years of the wars from 2001 to present did not add up to the deficit since Obama took over.
But the point is not lost. Big government is not the answer.
