Welcome to Hoover and FDR, Part 2. Bush and Obama.
I need to take back what I said about Bush’s budget being larger or similar to Obama’s.
I’m not sure how reliable Wikipedia is but it says the following:
# 2010 United States federal budget - $3.6 trillion (submitted 2009 by President Obama)
# 2009 United States federal budget - $3.10 trillion (submitted 2008 by President Bush)
# 2008 United States federal budget - $2.90 trillion (submitted 2007 by President Bush)
# 2007 United States federal budget - $2.77 trillion (submitted 2006 by President Bush)
# 2006 United States federal budget - $2.7 trillion (submitted 2005 by President Bush)
# 2005 United States federal budget - $2.4 trillion (submitted 2004 by President Bush)
# 2004 United States federal budget - $2.3 trillion (submitted 2003 by President Bush)
# 2003 United States federal budget - $2.2 trillion (submitted 2002 by President Bush)
# 2002 United States federal budget - $2.0 trillion (submitted 2001 by President Bush)
# 2001 United States federal budget - $1.9 trillion (submitted 2000 by President Clinton)
I guess I stand corrected w/ a lil egg on my face.
