Up 32% in 4 years? Bound to have an impact on the vote as those dependent on government would theoretically prefer more government.

Absolutely, this is the result of Obamanomics.

Hold it! Who said it's all Obama's fault?

It's a National Issue for all of us who pay taxes.

Precisely, Bush jacked it up, Obama was hired to fix it and only made it worse.

What will happen when we have more people living off of government than we have people paying taxes?

The military doesn't "take" anything. The military only does what it is directed to do by its civilian masters. In many cases the military requests cancellation of expensive or duplicative programs only to have them shoved down their throats anyway by bloated porkers on the hill.

I think when the term "Obamanomics" is used, that's a pretty clear indicator that the intent was to blame Obama, even though we know beyond a doubt that it was Bush's reckless spending and laissez-faire "let the market self-regulate" that almost sent the country off the cliff. However, from the day Obama took office, Republicans developed selective amnesia, preferring to blame the entire catastrophe on the new President. Why can't you see that it was Bush (not to mention his daddy, who had heavy influence in the Nixon administration, of course the Reagan administration, and they his own admininstration, and then his son the idiot's administration) who spent extravagantly, not Obama.

HW's father financed the Nazis. That is documented, not fantasy. And HW was active in the CIA long before he became director.

Where was your concern about the deficit when Bush was in office "spending like a drunken sailor"? Oh, that's right, Bush was a Republican, so he gets a free pass. BS

If it comes to paying for a military to protect or more social programs to those too lazy to get off their asses and work....there's no choice....

Wouldn't anything beyond 2012 be considered government projections?
