I don’t think he’s going to be able to separate out descritionary v. the rest of the budget to be able to back the numbers out. He (apparently) thinks baseline applies to the entire budget. It doesn’t. I don’t really want to do his homework for him.

Dude this is what he originally posted:

Do you understand that the following year (2010) the dems did not pass a budget, they took the previous years budget and added the automatic 5-6% increase and then deemed it passed. EVERY YEAR from 2009 till now, that money is being included every year and that money is compounding at 5-6 annually. This is the reason why we don't see a budget peak in 2009 and then a drop in 2010. It just continues to grow. They kept it in the budget till it couldn't be removed.
Automatic increases have been baked into the budget forever. It wasn't a new concept nor was it uniquely responsible for post-2009 deficits.

wickowick's argument is wholly incoherent in light of the total budget and deficit, which is the context in which he presented it
