ā** But then, insecurity is a terrible thing.**ā
So is projection. And as obvious as insecurity.
Just an observation.

See? Stop pointing out the inconvenient truth of the filibuster that strangled action for years. Brought to you by the minority in the Senate.
Your arithmetic remains entertaining. 1 branch of government (WH) + half of another branch (Senate) = .75 for Democrats.
Too funny.
You should speak to Frank Luntz. Then again, donāt. Even he would laugh at you.

If the concept of having control of a political body, such as the President being in control of the Executive or Democrats being in control of the Senate, eludes you, then youāve got bigger problems than this little discussion.

Iām still awaiting a response from you to anything I posted junior.
You got anything?
ANYTHING???
Again with the bluster and (apparently) a stuck āeā key. But the chart still clearly demonstrates that Rās spent more in every year than the Dās on Emergency Health. You argument is with that plain and simple fact, not with me.
Still waiting for you to defend your simpletons simplistic derp.
Cannot can you junior?
Heās not able to do anything other than post the most moranic derp Tom. Let him goā¦heās obviously not much more than an 0.5 watt bulb troll whoās trolling.
Your WhiteHouse.gov chart for Bush -vs- Obama spending is amusing. The national debt from 2001 to 2008 rose just over $4 billion, to a total of about $10 billion. President Obama is easily on track to accumulate twice the debt as Bush, to over $18B.

And if you and Tom want to defend noble causes, youāre welcome to. I return to the simple chart that this article is about and the obvious conclusions to be made.
Still snickering at your claim that Democrats control .75 of government.
President controls the WH. Congress has two chambers. GOP controls one, currently. Democrats control the other, currently. So, ignoring the third branch of government, which you did, that means Dems control 2/3 of government, not 75%.
For your entertaining arithmetic to, I dunno, actually resemble reality? Youād have to forget (which you did) that there are three branches of government, and, youād also have to do some creative arithmetic, which you did.
Thanks for the laughs, though.

Hypocrite. Coward. Derp.

And there you have it! Pretty colored bars in a histogram with no understanding nor desire to understand of the causal factors behind them.
The dumbing down of 'Muricans by Rush and Faux news has thankfully stalled at about 23% of the electorate.

When an earthquake devastated Managua, Nicaragua Midnight, December 23, the U.S. Ambassador surveyed the situation and gave us a specific list of required aid at 7:00 a.m. local time. The first American field hospital arrived seven hours after that, at 2:00 pm. local time. The United States Public Health Service (technically part of the Coast Guard) rapidly followed.
Can you imagine? You had better bet the bad guys around the world noticed this display of American mobility, too.
No way do we have that kind of capability now.
As a side note, 27 years later, the Sandinistas were defeated in an election in favor of a pro-American government. The pundits had no clue as to where this reservoir of pro-American sentiment had come from.

So, as you say, leaving out the third branch. Your approach implies that the President controls one third of āgovernmentā, made up of Congress and the Executive.
Thatās a good one.
Iām not bragging about how much Bush spent. Iām pointing out that Obama will raise the national debt twice as much as Bush. Are you arguing that he wonāt? Whatās hypocritical about that? Or cowardly?
Oh, I don't think the Icicle is new-- Same old shit as last year--
Nope. Just signed up today.
