mitchbr47, I hope you aren't someone who plays "hit and run" in this forum. So with that in mind, please allow me to ask you, with all due respect, if you realize the Democrats under Obama have allocated nearly as much spending in one month, that is one month, than President Bush spent in seven years on the war in Iraq, the war in Afghanistan and Hurricane Katrina combined — in one month.

In one month, the Democrats passed the $31 billion expansion of the State Children's Health Insurance Program passed in January plus the $787 billion stimulus bill passed in February. That adds up to $818 billion.

The bill for the Global War on Terror under Bush was $808 billion according to the Government Accountability Office report. Tacked on to the $132 billion for responding to Hurricane Katriana, that is $940 billion.
