This came to me in an e-mail today. Since we are encouraging people to think and be properly informed when they vote, I decided to post it here. This is basic math. DO NOT be fooled by all the rhetoric comming from the Democrats, they are pushing spending to levels never seen before. This year they chose to not pass a budget at all. COngress is the problem, thankfully one that we ca fix in November.
This is from a person, before retirement, was the President of the
State Banking System of Ohio. This is a great lesson to understand
as we enter the fall elections. Politicians on both sides have a way
of making things sound good, and even though true, are very
misleading. Progressives are killing this country, and we need to
change course, but let’s make sure we are dealing with a full deck.
Don’t believe everything you hear. Check it out before making up
your mind. We will be deciding this country’s financial future.
For FY 2009 though, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid bypassed George Bush entirely, passing continuing resolutions to keep government running until Barack Obama could take office. At that time, they passed a massive omnibus spending bill to complete the FY 2009 budgets. was a member of that very Congress that passed all of these massive spending bills, and he signed the omnibus bill as President to complete FY 2009. Let’s remember what the deficits looked like during that period:
If the Democrats inherited any deficit, it was the FY 2007 deficit, the last of the Republican budgets. That deficit was the lowest in five years, and the fourth straight decline in deficit spending. After that, Democrats in Congress took control of spending, and that includes Barack Obama, who voted for the budgets. If Obama inherited anything, he inherited it from himself. In a nutshell, what Obama is saying is I inherited a deficit that I voted for and then I voted to expand that deficit four-fold since January 20th. |
