GEORGE BUSH, BIG SPENDER
Linden agreed with Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and Barack Obama back in those years before Obama became President when we all charged President Bush with being a big spender. We were correct!
In defense of President Bush, we should note that the deficits were in a downward trend until the democrats regained control of both legislative branches. Remember, the House controls formation of the budget document although the President submits his desired budget.
Our condemnation of President Bush was justified because the average budget deficit in the last seven years of his tenure was two hundred and ninety nine billion dollars. That is a lot of money!
Unfortunately for all of us, our children, our grandchildren and their grandchildren, the spending under President Obama makes George Bush look like a skinflint. It appears that the budget deficit under President Obama will average more that ONE TRILLION dollars MORE that the average deficit under President Bush. Can you even imagine how much a trillion is?
$1 X 1,000 = $1,000.00 X 1,000 = 1 million dollars X 1,000 = one billion dollars X 1,000 = one trillion dollars. The Obama budget calls for spending close to two trillion dollars more than the amount of dollars received…and we hear the libs whine about the Republicans wanting to fairly modestly cut this budget!

LINDEN’S LIFE
Breakfast was biscuits and gravy at Chick-fil-A followed by trips to the grocery, Chamber of Commerce, and post office. Since I wanted just a light lunch, I fixed a bowl of cereal…the milk was soured. Ugh! The evening brought a very good dinner at church which was followed by a wonderful presentation in the sanctuary and that was followed by a meeting regarding a music event we will hold in August.
