Trying to tell us that this budget is a monster compared to others? Well, it’s not.
We have not had a budget since 2009.
Ever expanding continuous resolutions are how we do it now.
Fed.gov budget, which is basically Soc. Security, Medicaid/Medicare, Military and Interest on debt - is on upward, one-way autopilot.
[fiscal 2009, which was the year that President Barack Obama’s $840 billion stimulus law was enacted. ]
I remember when the DOW, IIRC, hit about 6200 and change in that year. Gas, which had been, $2-$3 hit $1.24.9 at the local convenience store. Then I saw pics of all those idled ships in the Indian Ocean and whole blocks of homes in California boarded up.
Many of Obama’s annual deficits were over a trillion dollars. Of course, that doesn’t even include the quantitative easing by the fed under Obama. That brings the real debt much higher. 650 billion is not good but given recent history not that bad by comparison. We are only going to be able to grow our way out of this debt. The congress will never cut spending.
That’s true in most every year since each budget starts with the previous year budget then adds a bunch of spending.
