    Swamped with work and family thanks for asking.

  • So Cal, I take it a link was too much then?

  • AGAIN, woodpecker, you didn't pay any attention to the other three links I did post,

    and your lack of contribution warrants no time from me, to go back and try to find that link.

    But, here's a really good link on Heck's authority, politifact -

  • Cal I looked through your links and didn't see that graph.

    But that's ok, you can go back to posting every article you read from websites you already bow you'll agree with.

    Because that's a real American right? Only goes to information sources that tell them what they want to hear, assume anyone that disagrees with them is uniformed and blind, never considers other views, etc.

    It's like you're having a stupid competition with Bunker. Let's see who can slow human progress the most.

    Jesus christ.... Idk why I even bother responding. You're just so fucking stupid and closed minded.

    go ahead, post something about feelings, call me a dumb kid, call me a liberal, idc. I know you are the one normal people would consider Retarded and insane so it doesn't matter. I would expect a mad man to think he was mad.

    Deal with changes. Grow up. Look at both sides of an issue. Drop your prejudices and stereotypes. Gain a little intelligence. Learn how to read data

  • But now we can look at the data, not the estimates. And we should. The spending data ended up $20 billion lower than the CBO estimate... and that included the stimulus spending (which Nutting says was $140 billion, but I'm still trying to track that number down). If that is the case, the high-end estimate for Bush's fiscal year is $3.38 trillion. If we compare that to Obama's 2013 budget proposal ($3.80 trillion), that's an increase of 12.5% (3.1% annualized). Which isn't that high, but it's also using a baseline that is still filled with a lot of what were supposed to be 1 time expenses (TARP, Cash for Clunkers, the auto bailout, the housing credit, etc). http://www.politicalmathblog.com/?p=1786

    sooooo, if you have a baseline filled with the huge ONE time ticket items like Tarp, cash for clunkers, auto and mortgage bailouts, and carry them over year by year it is easy to project modest to low spending overall. Obamas riding with the 2009 budget... hmmm the last one signed by the dem majority congress too right? Thanks Nutting, Obama is actually exposed as a cheat here, and its no wonder that his subsequent budgets werent passed by congress either.The Senate stayed true to the party and left well enough alone by never submitting a budget ! just let it ride.....

    *******************************************

    I never once said the graph you refer to, was located via one of the three links I posted.

    Seriously? Are you that dense?

    I said that I didn't add the link for THAT graph, but you had no comment, and, perhaps, didn't read the stuff

    in the other three links... so why would I waste my time trying to go back and find the fourth link?

    If I thought you might ever have some legit input on something - it would be worth my time.

    But, alas, you are a superficial lightweight when it comes to really discussion stuff.

  • Cal you're a moron. I did my rant already about why you are.

    Post me a link to the source for that graph then. That's all I've been asking for. Not hard.

  • You don't care about that. All you ever do is blow smoke and ignore content.

    You aren't worth the trouble to go back and find the link. Go type in a half decent search with

    the obvious keywords. and have at it. It's on the first or second page of results.

    I'm taking a Coke break - and I have to go out and bale hay.

    you shouldn't be bailing hay on cocaine in this heat.

    Fine Cal. If you can't even back up your post then I quit this thread. Your ignorance knows no bounds.

  • You can't quit what you never joined, woodpecker with no clue.

  • after all of Heck's spin while he tests bs that might get more votes for the eggsucking, slimesnorting, racist fascist ObaMao...

    This graph tells more of what we need to know.

  • Nice job, Tupa. That looks very familiar.

    It rained on our hay today, just as I was trying to get the baler out.

    It keeps raining, and we have to get 14 acres of soybeans planted,

    and about 600 more tomato plants and all in the garden.

    I wonder if I will ever finish my adventure novel.

    Or get my guitar out and pretend I'm talented at it like Steve.

    It's about 1:30, and I still want to go out to the barn, and find my sunglasses.

    dammit.😠

  • Thank you Tupa. I have a hard time believing that site was where Cal went though. It seems so calm and rational, and there's are actual two sides, reasonable discussions on the comments. Crazy I know.

    So now it's legitimate because you have your link.

    Ain't that grand??

    Any other insights?

    I never knew if it was or wasn't legit bevause

    1) The shitty y axis

    2) Cal posted it

    3) Cal refused to give me a link

    Now that I actually have the link I think it looks good. Idk, I'm not really looking into it. I don't really care anymore.

    Feel free to attack me about that though Cal
