How much did the deficit balloon in Obama's first full fiscal year?
I know the answer... Do you?
The U.S. government's fiscal year begins on October 1 (2009) of the previous calendar year and ends on September 30 (2010) of the year with which it is numbered.
That means, this last Fiscal Year... was actually Obama's first full fiscal year he was in control of.
Any guesses?
The answer is $122,000,000,000. 122 Billion dollars.
Oh........ Did I happen to mention thats NEGATIVE $122 BILLION??
________________
The US deficit shrank nine percent last fiscal year but still topped one trillion dollars, the government said Friday in a report seized on by Democrats' rivals weeks ahead of mid-term elections.
For the 2010 fiscal year that ended on September 30, the government had a budget shortfall down 122 billion dollars from the previous year's record-setting high.
Revenue rose and spending fell amid recovery from recession and as President Barack Obama's Democratic administration wound down some of the emergency measures taken to restore growth.

1. Whatever it is Updated at 4:53 PM
it is surely FAR less than whatever the Republicans are claiming. In fact, I believe that Obama- in his finest hour to date- actually schooled the Republicans on this very topic when he attended their retreat last winter. Of course, I can only speak for what the reality-based community accepts as fact. I have absolutely no idea what it is in the bizarro world the Republicans live in. :eyes: :banghead:
Uh huh keep lying to yourself.

3. Not nearly enough.
To get the real economy back to work, the deficit needs to be much higher right now.
1+1= Potato.
:banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:
The sad part is the people with the purse strings right now, think like these morons do.

There's stupidity, and there's so stupid that its a wonder it knows how to talk. Girl Gone Mad is a perfect example of the latter.

These people are moles. No other explanation fits. But if they are real, we as a species are doomed. Bring on the comet.

So...
2009 deficit = $1400 billion
2010 deficit = $1200 billion and the ass crumbs swoon
Yet when Bush left office and Obama railed against the deficit it was
$400 billion

Dude, don't bother trying to figure them out. They're the ones who still try to claim that Clinton left us a surplus when even the GAO threw the bullshit flag on that over a decade ago.

What the lurkers don't, or won't, acknowledge is that the Executive Branch doesn't spend the money. The Legislative Branch does. So, which party was in control of Congress? . . . hint--Barack Obama was in that party.

Obama voted in favor of every spending bill that came before him except one.

YES!!!111
This is why unemployment is so-low, pre-0bama levels, and the value of the dollar is so high!

Some might be moles but, really, do the people who voted for Obama actually think? At all?
Many of us supported President Bush to various degrees but when he tried to appoint Harriet Miers to the SCOTUS or tried to ram amnesty through, many of us stood up and protested. Loudly.
DUmmies really only care about getting special rights for various groups within their confederation but they are going to support Obama by twisting reality when it comes to things they don't care about, or even understand, like numbery thingees.

Spin won't work. The deficit under Dear Leader has increased by almost 3 trillion dollars and expected to be even more in years to come if he gets his way, and the people know it. And after all that, unemployment is still hovering in the 10% range, real unemployment is more in the 17-18% range, and inflation will be coming in a few years to a country near you.

Great post USA! Scary situation. And yet, DUmmies/libs love the way the direction this Country is going in. Comatose on the brain is all I can come up with. Why would anyone in their right mind say/think that all those listed above are good for any country?! And those listed above are just "some" of the negatives on the imposter and his policies.

Doing my DUmmie math here...subtract 7... bring down the 9 ... carry the 2... add 4.....A HELLAVA BUNCH.
Next problem.
