Hmm, 850 bil of liberal goodness vs. 500 bil of donkey poo

I think you are confused Johnny Walkie, because you just can't see the whole picture. Republicans can waste money, and they can refuse to solve problems, but those are the only two modes they know how to operate in. Unlike Barack, they cannot actually envision a world where you can spend money to solve problems.

So let's grant you the worst case scenario. Let me grant you EVERYTHING. Let's assume

a) Obama will actually get all of those spending plans through congress AT ONE TIME IN THE FIRST YEAR, which your math assumes. It would take most presidents 5 terms to pass all that legislation through congress.

b) Obama will not make up for the increased spending by cutting pork, and stupid wasteful expenditures, like say, the war. Even though Obama has a proven record of relatively few earmarks on bills, lobbying reform and not spending money on bridges to nowhere. Unlike the GOP, which has been spending money like drunken sailors for 8 years.

c) Let us assume none of his proposed spending will benefit the health of the nation and the economy, thereby resulting in less debt, less economic and social insecurity, and more taxes brought in by improved national productivity (remember the Clinton years anyone?)

So we are assuming we will not become more competitive in the world economy, despite his education bills, and we will continue to spend the most on health care than any other nation in the world, despite his health plan. None of his programs will directly create new jobs. We will continue to send a billion dollars a day to terrorist countries to pay for energy, despite his energy independence initiatives. Our citizens will not become more competitive, thanks to college education and job training. Basically none of his investments in this country will pay off AT ALL. It will all backfire and none of it will help us. I grant you everything, because I am all generous and giving!!!! Like Barack.....

Even if all that comes to pass, because liberalism is sooooo naive and government programs are all impossibly pointless and bankrupt by design.....I would STILL rather spend 85o billion on feel-good programs for this country, than THIS:

Thanks Bush. With our 500 billion, that you took from us (and unlike domestic spending, he didn't have to run it by the rest of the country) you paid for the following: 4000 dead, heroic soldiers, a wrecked country, a destabilized middle east, a less safe America, and a pissed off world that despises us. I'll take Obama's deal any day of the week, even if I grant Walker every single goofy assumption can he can throw at me.
