Can you say sequester?
I still find this hard to believe because of the stimulus plan that was put in place Obama's first year and then baked into the budget in subsequent years.
Also Bush kept the war on terror costs separate from the budget with the expectation that they would go away when the war was over. Obama merged them into the budget so that they could keep spending at that level unquestioned.
Obama has cost America an incredible amount in the form of lost wealth.
budget ? what budget ?
