Your trying to hide the reckless spending of Obama by combining his spending with the cuts on the local level. State and local spending has gone down, federal spending has gone up.Quote from AK Forty Seven:
The conventional wisdom that President Obama has overseen a dramatic surge in government spending has always been shaky. But it faces perhaps its starkest rebuttal in new figures that reveal the sharpest decline of the last half-century in real federal, state and local spending during this presidency.
State and local Government by law need to balance the budget every year. They can only spend what they take in each year.
Fed spending by itself is up big.
