Obama Has Grown Our National Budget 32% So Far This Year, Biggest Growth For Bush Was 6%
As Obama goes on another “blame Bush” kick, talking about the budget woes he inherited from Bush, it’s worth noting the sort of spending growth he and his fellow Democrats have approved this year alone in relation to past years:

I’ll not put a smiley face on spending under Bush and Republicans. That deficit spending was wrong as well. But for Obama to suggest that Bush is somehow to blame for his run-away spending problems too is just plain foolish.
But I guess that’s Obama’s “new era of responsibility.” When in doubt, blame the opposition.
