[QUOTE="Nimnim, post: 1109331, member: 28856"] Why is everything a year off? Understood Obama was elected in '08 and Bush was elected in 2000, but they didn't enter office until '09 and '01 respectively. So why is everything an extra year off? You can't tell me a President has no control of spending their first year off office. (edit) If you are then you're just admitting that congress controls the spending and the President doesn't so it really doesn't matter who was the President but who controlled congress.(/edit) Not to mention the chart is also skewing things for Obama as it's only stating 3 years when every other term is 4 and we're now in his 5th year. Despite all this, could we get a link where you got this from? I'm sure they'll have the data they based this on somewhere there. I really wanna see how they came up with these numbers. I also have no idea what these numbers are supposed to represent, is this spending vs gdp, spending vs the year(s) before? [/QUOTE]
