I think you just made my point by immediately turning to the “fair share” BS. I also don’t think the lion’s share of the extra spending is on defense, unless Mr Obama really likes defense contractors. Now don’t get me wrong, the Reps did their share of the damage once they let the “Pay-Go” rule expire, but the unprecedented increase I was mentioning began with TARP, and that level of spending has continued year after year since.[/quote]

You do realize that TARP was passed and signed into law during the previous administration?
