The federal government began the 208 year with a record deficit of $237.2 billion, reflecting the billions of dollars the government has started to pay out to rescue the financial system.The next fiscal year is going to start out with a 3.6 trillion dollar defecit, a record in world history.
To allow a fair granting to the opponents, I'll round up for Bush, and claim all eight years had the previous record of 250 billion defecit, and I'll round down for Obama by 100 billion dollars. Thats one sixth of the Iraq war just so you all know. (Which means the Iraq war is paid for six times over in this new budget.)
250 billion, 1/4 of a trillion, eight years, two trillion dollars under eight years of George Bush, Obama, 3.6 trillion dollars in the first year, do de do de do de 14 trillion in four years, so do de do de do de we are getting not four more years, but 56 years of George Bush under Obama. This is presuming Barack Obama loses the 2012 election. If not, and I'll be generous to a national recovery if 2012 doesn't bring Mayan armaggedon, we will be getting a grand total of 100 years of Bush, financially speaking, in eight years of Obama. That is twenty Bush terms in only two Obama terms. Anyone else feel slightly concerned about this? Perhaps angry over the hypocracy?
