United States Austerity: Government now spending less nominally than Bush

[Acebb]

You're taking things out of context and confusing nominal spending with relative spending. I'm not surprised. You aren't that smart.

I'm not "confusing" anything.

By every measure America is spending more today.

You don't even know what "nominal" spending is, as evidenced by the idiotic title of this thread which is false.

 

[Acebb]

It's the lowest spending growth we've had in over 50 years at the state and federal level. Whether you call that austerity or not does not matter. The fact is your policies are destroying this economy. We should use Ronald Reagan's policies and spend like its going out of style!!

Um, no it isn't.

Federal spending has increased more under Obama than under Bush or Clinton.

"Austerity" actually has a definition.

Idiot

You have to love it when a left wing idiot takes to the Internet to say that the President he voted for is implementing "my policies"

Don't worry, this is just example 44,212 of your incoherence.

When you're lying, logic is hard.

Claim:

Basic math says during a recession GDP decreases and spending can stay the same while spending to GDP will increase. Deficits will also increase. Therefore spending to GDP an debt to GDP will always increase during bad economic times with normal or stagnant expenditures. It's really a meaningless statistic.

Note: the dope who made this claim can not respond to the fact that America today is not facing any GDP decrease but America in 1982 was, yet spending as a % of GDP is higher today than in 1982.

The dope who made the claim can not and will not address this with anything other than "LOL" or an outright lie.

Today it's not, couple years ago it was and since then growth has been slow along with spending. Unlike Reagan who spent like crazy and growth increased drastically! Who would have thought, lol!!

 

[Acebb]

Austerity doesn't have to start on the day a president got in to office. I'm talking about the present. You can't seem to grasp this. But wrong way Willie agrees with you. That would make me confident, lol!!

There is no "austerity"

Austerity has a definition.

A $1 trillion dollar federal spending increase is not within that definition.

Don't worry, I wouldn't expect someone who does not understand why federal spending as a % of GDP is in every budget document the government creates to know the definition of austerity.

You're just making stuff up now and getting desperate. Typical conservative debating tactics. Like arguing with children.

Total spending by all governments will top $5 trillion this year.

That is not "austerity"

The data speaks for itself. Less public sector employees, less federal employees, slowest spending growth in half a century. It's only obvious unless you have to spin it to protect a failed party.

Did your Conservative Calculator tell you that magic number is austerity? Lol. Conservatives are scared of large numbers. Just bunch of retards.

It is quite instructive you actually believe this is responsive.

Of course you don't know what "austerity" means, so you may as well have stuck with "LOL" because "LOL" is demonstrative of your intelligence level.

 

[Acebb]

Of course if the silly dope who started this can't explain how the Federal government increasing outlays by more than 10% this Fiscal Year is "austerity" along with the fact he couldn't name 3 states that will cut their budgets this year.


There is no "austerity" in America.

Lol, so your conservative calculator said that was not austerity. Can't make this comedy up. Thanks for the entertainment.

The last two and a half years has been the lowest increase in spending in the past 60 years. 4%. The lowest Reagan got in his first 5 years was 33.8%. That's how much Reagan spent, lol. And you blame Obama for spending too much. Just hilarious!!

 

[Dave007inVegas]

Of course I did. You are lying now. Just be a man and admit you made a mistake. Not the end of the world. I've embarrassed many people like you in my life. Just another day.

Translation... Shit! How the fuck do I get out of this one.

You don't even try to hide the fact that you're a troll do you?
