Nope.
Obama is spending more on defense than reagan. Spending changes From Reagan to Obama The U.S. federal budget was last balanced in FY2001. Spending was 18.2% of GDP. It has since risen to 24.7% of GDP, a change of 6.5%. The major change categories, according to the CBO historical tables:[1] Medicare & Medicaid: +1.7% GDP. Increases were driven by demographic shifts of an aging population and annual healthcare cost increases in the 7-9% range. Defense: +1.6% GDP. Increases were driven by a doubling of defense spending in dollar terms, for both the baseline defense budget and Iraq/Afghanistan Wars.[2] Social Security: +0.6% GDP. Increases are driven by demographic shifts of an aging population creating more beneficiaries and annual cost of living adjustments Income Security: +1.4% GDP. This includes food stamps, unemployment compensation, foster care, other retirement and disability. This has increased significantly due to the subprime mortgage crisis. Other: +1.2% GDP. This includes non-defense discretionary spending increases (e.g., Cabinet Departments) and other mandatory spending (e.g., stimulus, bailouts) due to the crisis. |

NOT on Welfare like most of Guvment speding is today.... Which was much needed after the dems gutted our military. And Reagan created a booming economy to support the spending as well. ------------------------- Brujo, gdudewe, martinA and WG - the white Al Sharptons of NSR. |

The numbers.
When Barack Obama ran for president four years ago, he appalled some Democrats by saying Ronald Reagan had been a transformational president. Three years into his presidency, he has exceeded Reagan in one area: reductions in government jobs. Over all - including a decline of 12,000 public sector jobs in the Labor Department report for December - government employment is down 2.6 percent over the last three years, compared to a decline of 2.2 percent in the early Reagan years. That is a record. http://economix.blogs.nytimes....ne-in-government-jobs/ ------------------------- "Born fine the first time." |

What's the current baby-boomer retirement numbers of today compared to those during Reagan's term? And how do you quantify a $3.7 trillion budget if it was never passed? ------------------------- "Born fine the first time." |

What's the current baby-boomer retirement numbers of today compared to those during Reagan's term?
By numbers if you are asking how many or what % of baby boomers thought in Reagans Era that they could eventually retire it was close to %100 And if you are comparing it to how many or what % of baby boomers NOW think that they can eventually retire... It is a much smaller %, BUT How do you Quantify the number of people saving enough to retire when the Budget which is One TRillion !00Billion In the RED Has not passed so you can't know how much money the Baby Boomer will have to repay and be taxed on in their retirement years??? ------------------------- We, the people of the State of Florida, being grateful to Almighty God for our constitutional liberty, in order to secure its benefits, perfect our government, insure domestic tranquility, maintain public order, and guarantee equal civil and political rights to all, do ordain and establish this constitution. |
