Thanks for the explanation. However you will find no one on this site more pissed off about what Bush did in his last year then I was. I bitched on here for days about the bailout.
I think it was 700 billion right? And that is tacked onto Bush's last year. I think that's what Obama is going to spend without bailouts, if I recall.
So while war spending and bailouts can just stop, spending on things like healthcare and other entitlement programs can't. Obama is shifting a lot more of the spending that direction.
