Bush's presidency began in 2001. 2010 is ten years later.
A two percent change in ten years is negligible and marks an drastic decline in the rate of increase. Like it or not the numbers do not support your hysterics.
You did not read post #40. You fail to read and comprehend, apparently.
The first budget Bush submitted was the FY 2002 budget. For the THIRD time, you are wrong about ten years. Can you count to ten? It was NOT ten years.
FY 2002 started in 2001. FY 2010 ends in 2010.
Look, if you would just stop fighting and listen, you would learn something. Scumbag submitted the 2001 budget. Bush's first budget was the 2002 budget. Thus, Bush has submitted five budgets--FIVE budgets. FY 2006 is the current budget Bush submitted in the spring. This FY 2006 budget has projections out to 2010. 2002 thru 2010 is nine years (NINE), nine years, not ten years.
You have a problem with not accepting what others tell you when they quote facts. You argue with opinion, and then have a hard time when somebody debates with facts. You should refute facts with other facts, not opinion and falsehoods.
In your future debates on Free Republic with other members, remember this--the Fiscal Year Budget submitted is always one year ahead of calendar year. Bush was elected in 2000, and in the spring of 2001, he submitted his first budget. This first budget was thus the FY 2002 budget. Scumbag's last budget was submitted in the spring of 2000 (the FY 2001 budget).
This should clarify this for you and allow you to understand this, since you did not know that the FY budgets are one year ahead of the calendar year when submitted.
