I completely agree with that.

Oh that reminds me...spinning class at 1.

Ciao.

It is precisely the true cost of the stimulus, and the effect over time. If you have different data, feel free to post it.

And yes, Obama cut $50 billion from Defense Spending over 10 years (actually the Defense Dept did) - again, your quoting of base figures means you are attributing all spending to Obama, which is simply false.

Yeah they'd never fudge the numbers.

Not true. This is based on an analysis by the cbpp.org of the Congressional Budget Offices. Anybody can analyze data and say what they want, but nice try.

Yes. And I earlier posted the CBPP original link, which had three detailed chart breakdowns of all the data by department/organizational spending group.

As the CBPP is a respected organization, and that data has been in the public sector with peer review for some time now without any economics calling it false or misleading, why don't you quote that original page, and tell us what you think is factually incorrect about it?
