What has the rate of growth in spending been under Obama if you use FY 2008 as the baseline? The problem with your argument is that you're going...
The thing I've never liked about this argument is that it ignores the fact that the level of the "mandatory" spending can be changed. Just as...
This is the obvious one I was thinking of also. However, did repealing Glass-Steagal have anything to do with the growth in size of the...

I wasn't trying to say it was entirely middle America's fault or that Wall Street played no role. But let's at least be honest here and admit...
