Yabut! You do know the game! You post part of a table with NO other information than raw numbers. When I post a different part of the SAME table then we need to take other factors into account. See how it works yet?

How can I forget Nutter!?!?!? It's HIS table!

Yabut! Obama hasn't had 8 years in which to do it. From your source (the White House historical tables). From 1981 to 1989 - spending increased $422 billion. From 2009 to 2017 (estimate) - spending increased from $3.5 trillion to 4.5 trillion an increase of $1 trillion! Now I'm not...

No I stated Obama at 5.2% to give the benefit of the doubt, some say it's more like 5.5%. But just when I thought there was hope for AK, indeed there seems to be none (no change either :cool: ). You are completely missing the point. The first glaring "error" Nutting made was to put Obama at...

Holy sh*t you may actually be starting to understand the game! It's literally a non-stop game of yabut. Ya but if I take out (fill in the blank) and use only (fill in the year) as a basis and then ignore (fill in the blank) then my (party|candidate) looks pretty damn good huh?!?!? So I'll...

Wow you're simply a fountain of titillating information. Let me take a moment to ponder - an incoming president has no control over what his predecessor did to the economy - brilliant! What's next, tomorrow the sun is going to rise in the east and set in the west. It really is difficult to...

Whoa, really -- they're two different things? :D My only point is why couldn't the flunkies that generated your chart be content with 5.2%? No they had to get creative and find a way to make Obama look like a superstar when he's essentially average by one measure, and in fact quite bad by...

My pleasure, I'm just here to help. It is odd that you glossed over this text though: In the post-war era, federal spending as a percentage of the U.S. economy has hovered around 20 percent, give or take a couple of percentage points. Under Obama, it has hit highs not seen since the end of...

The correct figure to use is the CBO’s analysis of the president’s 2013 budget, which clocks in at $3.72 trillion. So this is what we end up with: 2008: $2.98 trillion 2009: $3.27 trillion 2010: $3.46 trillion 2011: $3.60 trillion 2012: $3.65 trillion 2013: $3.72...

And of course nothing could go wrong. :confused: <iframe width="640" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/wtI1MtMVrco" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

"Instead of singling out manufacturing for special privileges, the U.S. government should get behind certain general policies. High on the list would be raising the rate of growth of the American economy, for this will tend to create jobs in most sectors of the economy. More government support...

Certainly a provocative, sensationalistic headline from Eamonn Fingleton. But where in the actual essay does Gary Becker suggest that the U.S. doesn't need manufacturing? I've read this a few times, it's getting late so I may have missed it but I see no such suggestion...

You really don't get it do you? Every time we hear Obama say something that we believe is true, bump the truth counter. Doesn't matter if it's the same thing over and over! Three times last week Obama said the sun was going to rise in the east, there you go he told the truth three times...

This is actually quite hilarious. I don't have time scour all the statements but they seem to count Romney's "bad stuff" twice or more and Obama's "good stuff" twice or more. Like it says you can click for more information I picked a few at random. Under Romney's "Pants on Fire" they count...

Whoops, I of course meant the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. President Barack Obama faced stiff resistance to the possibility of releasing emergency oil reserves to quell rising energy prices on Friday, with Asian allies and the head of the West's energy agency rejecting any need for action...

Good job there sunshine, you're able to cut and paste! You clearly don't get the point. Let me try again, and we'll make it multiple choice, what's more important? [list=A] The music used at Mitt Romney's campaign stops. The fact that the Obama administration is recklessly leaking...

LOL for sure! While Free Tinkler is reporting on the music used by the Romney campaign "grown ups" are discussing things that matter, for example: https://www.nytimes.com/2012/08/16/us/politics/ex-military-and-cia-officers-attack-obama-over-bin-laden-leaks.html
