A bunch of nonsense... You make assertions without any evidence,
except a nutcase on Youtube.

Lincoln - 1527% increase in spending; this is obviously due to the
huge expenditures for the Civil War.
FDR - 836% increase. Again, massive war spending skewed his numbers.
George W. Bush: 87% increase. (Though only 73% if you lop off the last
year and don't credit/blame him for the stimulus that passed in his
last months.)
Ronald Reagan: 82% increase in federal spending during his tenure.
Obama: Even if you want to attribute all the stimulus spending to
Obama, that still only represents about a 20% increase in federal
spending - somewhat less than any other President's term in the past
45 years. Claims that he's increased spending "more than any other
President" are blatant exaggerations.

Funny, tell that to Iceland, Zimbabwe or the 2 dozen countries or so
that have tried to print their way out of debt.

Germany pre-WW II tried it too.

Result is always the same, hyper inflation and an economic mess. Only a
fool and idiot can think they can spend their way out of a debt problem.

Obama is debt-spending faster rate than all presidents before him
combined!! Projected forward, Obama in a 8 year term will almost double
the national debt.

i'm not sure what greenspan thought about deficits. i DO know, said
wall street needed to be completely deregulated and the market would
take care of itself

a position he, today, regrets given, he said, wall street's
unimaginable greed.
