    Perhaps you should do some research. GW Bush's last budget was $3.414 trillion. The reason the deficit increased was largely because of the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy. Tax money flowing into the federal government is now at its lowest level in more than 50 years.

    If money grew on trees even Mr. Obama would know that it would be limited. All progressives follow what they perceive that the constitution permits. From section 8 powers of Congress.

    To borrow money on the credit of the United States.

    There is no constitutional limit on the amount. The framers did not think that a bunch of wild spenders would hijack our government and start spending insane amounts of money, without a fiscally responsible plan to pay off that debt.

If u . s . is the be great back.. we'd desire to repair our industries and quit recirculating the previous inflated money from our now provider oriented economic device.. Keynesian economics does not artwork in a open worldwide economic device with checklist commerce deficits.. its doomed to failure.

    Not sure about the trees, but money definitely grows from air and nothing when FED prints it.

    Obama isn't far from out of the trees himself. I can see how he would think that.
