I'm waiting to hear the outcry from people who fussed over budget deficits under Bush
Because Obama's first one is a whopper.
WASHINGTON - What is $1.42 trillion? It's more than the total national debt for the first 200 years of the Republic, more than the entire economy of India, almost as much as Canada's, and more than $4,700 for every man, woman and child in the United States.
It's the federal budget deficit for 2009, more than three times the most red ink ever amassed in a single year.
You read that correctly.
Obama tripled the deficit his first year in office. So where is all the concern about budget deficits three times higher than the highest deficit under Bush...you know, back when deficits were allegedly a sign that the universe was ending?
I keep listening but all I hear are the sounds of crickets.
