I don't know what he paid for, but then again, I'm not the one whining about it. As far as spending goes, what Obama is spending now is a necessary evil at this point. Why? Reagan started this mess by putting the US up for sale, and its been up for sale and deregulated out the wazoo ever since. So what has every president starting with Reagan through W. Bush done to fix the economy? NOTHING!!! And yes, that obviously includes dems. Healthcare (a huge economic problem) has not been fixed, trade regulations are a joke, regulations here are obviously flawed, and the list goes on. Keep in mind that we actually did have the deficit under control at the end of Clinton's admin, but look what has happened since then. After Clinton we get Bush, whose life ambition seems to have been to start wars and spend money. You know what's funny? I bet you could tell me just about to the dime how much Obama has spent, but can you tell me how much Bush spent? I doubt it because it wasn't even on the books.
So our choice was for another president who would also do nothing (aka spending freeze) or one who would actually address the problem, which is what Obama is doing. So, yeah, it's going to take a lot of money to fix this mess. You might as well get used to because I'm sure there's more spending to come because the alternative is to go along with the party of NO and do NOTHING. What would that mean? How about a full-blown depression. If you think you're having a hard time paying for a date now, try it in the middle of a depression.
