The difference between overspending Republicans and overspending Democrats.
Donald Sensing (via Instapundit) observes:
Last month’s deficit of $221 billion was 37 percent larger than the entire year’s deficit of 2007 of $161 billion. But government does not produce wealth.
If I understand the budgetary process correctly, FY 2007 was the last year in which a Republican Congress passed the budget. And to think liberals chide us conservatives for criticizing Obama’s spending spree while alleging we were silent during the Bush years. Silent we surely were not even as the overspending weren’t nearly so bad.
Read the whole thing to see just how our government continues to grow while the private sector shrinks.

The Democrat logic seems to be, if you didn’t complain when Bush gave us a cold, you can’t complain when Obama gives us pneumonia.
(Except that many of us did complain about Bush’s spending, but they pretend we didn’t.)

Obamas numbers are horrifically and unimaginably high. So high it is very hard to wrap your arms around the staggering numbers. I mean after all once you’ve hit $7 trillion, $9 trillion, how can you comprehend these kinds of deficits? I don’t think the average Joe who listens to 17 minutes of news each nite, doesn’t grap the meaning of Obamas spending.
