Who’s more to blame — Bush or Obama?

When it comes to the huge budget deficit, the answer is clear: Obama.

I invite Complete Las Vegans to read this piece, complete with a graph that ought to scare the pants off of anyone thinking about returning Sen. Harry Reid to the Senate to carry more water for the unwise Obama spending agenda.

According to the story,"If Obama had simply kept Bush's spending policies in place, federal deficits over the next eight years would be 60 percent lower. In 2018, we'd have a deficit of just $188 billion, instead of the projected $996 billion under Obama's budget.

"So while Bush no doubt shares the blame for the dismal budget outlook, the majority of the blame belongs with Obama for putting the government on a far higher spending path."

I can't help those partisans who want to redistribute wealth in this country by making everyone poorer. But for those of you who still honestly can't decide whether Obama and Sen. Reid have us on the right path when it comes to spending, you will find the link provided above useful. It settles the question.
