Reagan grew gov't faster than Obama
Re: Reagan grew gov't faster than Obama
No, see. It's okay when a republican does it. YWIA.
Move -On is not exactly an unbiased source.
Obama has increased the % of GDP spent on gov't from 20-22% in 3 years with it estimated to be at 24% by the end of 2012. That is unprecidented!
And probably untrue, what with it being you who said it.
1) I acknowledged it was a biased source.
2) what is the source for your statement?
Above Us Only Sky
I knew this was coming.
The original graph isn't from Move On. It's Talking Points Memo who got the info from the B of EA.
You seem to forget that we are living in a society where it is perfectly acceptable for candidates to blatantly lie and make things up and nobody even cares when it's exposed as false.
Facts and truth are no longer relevant.
I knew this was coming. Why can't you just let the lies play out, why do you have to call people out on them?
Um, asking for a source from anyone is a legitimate question.
Especially if you challenge a source as being unreliable, then spout "facts" without giving the "more reliable" source.
