The Obama Budget Big Lie

Here is a question to ask the next time someone tells you that president Obama and the Obamacrats are trying to get spending under control: How is it possible that spending is scheduled to go up for fiscal year 2011 over 2010 and for fiscal year 2012 over 2011 given that in fiscal year 2010 the bulk of the 800 billion dollar stimulus money was spent? In other words, A stimulus package that contained about thirty percent of an entire year's budget gets spent and in the next year spending goes up instead of down. How can that be if Obama is even remotely concerned about controlling spending?

There is no answer to this question without resorting to doubletalk. Not even the staunchest democrat will know how to respond.
