So yes... let’s blame republicans for what they hypothetical might have done instead of Obama for what he actually did. Makes perfect sense.

Dude shortyrob just went on a rant about how republicans hypothetically spend less than democrats do. You guys say all the time that they do (even when they don't). Hence this line.

Yes, hence the use of the word more to indicate more of something that already was in the bill

Of course not. You’ve made up a hypothetical in your head. That’s kinda like evidence, eh?

Once again, I didn't bring up fricking hypotheticals. I am giving you my opinion because you guys have given me yours. I asked shortyrob to produce evidence of republicans controlling spending and you know what he gave me? Hypotheticals.

Oddly no one does this for Reagan, who arguably had a worse economic situation that had been lagging far longer. Nor do you do it for Bush43 who had a recession in 2001-2003. You’re exposed as f*ck.

You're comparing 2008 to Reagan and GHWB's admins. Wow.

So increase of 5% with declining deficits, and a growing economy. And you’re accusing others of not viewing thing in economic contests? k.

The deficit did not decline between 2005 and 2006. You are mistaken.
