Why Obama and Murphy are responsible for the economy
President Obama and Congressman Patrick Murphy, along with the Democratic leadership, keep blaming the economy on President Bush and his administration. While I agree that President Bush did let spending get out of control, he was not alone. Let’s not forget that in 2004, when “Senator” Obama was elected to the Senate, federal spending was $2.3 trillion a year. In 2006, when Patrick Murphy was elected to Congress, and the Democratic party took control of the House and Senate, spending was $2.7 trillion. Now, we hear that next year’s budget is a whopping $3.8 trillion dollars. That’s a 65% increase from when Senator Obama was first elected Senator and a 41% increase from when Congressman Murphy was first elected to Washington and the Democrats took control. They keep blaming Washington of the past, when they are Washington of the past.
They both need to go! Let’s stay motivated!
P.S. I was amused that during the state of the union address, President Obama talked about going through the budget “line by line” and “page by page”. Wasn’t that part of his campaign promises? Does he really think we forgot?
