Signed an economic stimulus bill to inject $778 billion of deficit spending to create or save 3.5 million jobs. That is over $222,000.00 per job, not counting the interest on the increase in debt. His 2010 budget calls for nearly $7 trillion in deficit spending through 2019.

Fiscal irresponsibility is rampant in our society and the Obama aadministration is making it much worse.
 
oPresident Bush expanded the federal budget by a historic $700 billion through 2008. President Obama would add another $1 trillion.
oPresident Bush began a string of expensive finan¬cial bailouts. President Obama is accelerating that course.
oPresident Bush created a Medicare drug entitle¬ment that will cost an estimated $800 billion in its first decade. President Obama has proposed a $634 billion down payment on a new govern¬ment health care fund.
oPresident Bush increased federal education spending 58 percent faster than inflation. Presi¬dent Obama would double it.
oPresident Bush became the first President to spend 3 percent of GDP on federal antipoverty programs. President Obama has already in¬creased this spending by 20 percent.
oPresident Bush tilted the income tax burden more toward upper-income taxpayers. President Obama would continue that trend.
oPresident Bush presided over a $2.5 trillion increase in the public debt through 2008. Setting aside 2009 (for which Presidents Bush and Obama share responsibility for an additional $2.6 trillion in public debt), President Obama’s budget would add $4.9 trillion in public debt from the beginning of 2010 through 2016.
 
He is getting us farther and farther in debt bailing out companies that are using the monies for folly.
