We can talk about who increased the adjusted-for-inflation dollars of non-defense discretionary spending very easily and when you do you see that Reagan and GWB have spent the most in recent history. As for Pres Obama, we have no idea what this cost will be because it's not booked yet. Further we have no idea what and how these costs might drive innovation which will lower costs (there are lots of people who've gotten new jobs in the last few months purely because of this). Bottomline: George W Bush has spent the most since LBJ and we won't know about Obama until he's out of office. That's all we can say factually. Everything else is opinion. As to debt ... should we be concerned? I'm not sure these days given the circumstances. I can argue it both ways. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:337904 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
