Then why does the government grow so much when right wing fanatics are in power?
Not that Republicans are anything to brag about, got some data to that end?
The federal budget. Go look it up.

Once the Bernie supporters, much closer to Trump ideologically than to Clinton, catch wind of this, Trump will be swept to victory!
I think between the "How can we use Bernie's Jew Yorker-Atheism against him" and the nomination of TPP and Wall St. friendly Tim Kaine, not to mention the defeat of the Superdelegate Amendment, to thinking that a nasty screed by Jennifer "Warpig" Rubin in the WaPo will hurt Trump, Bernie Fanboys are just champing at the bit to vote for Hillary.
Kaine, that's a name the Marketing Campaign can have fun with. Plus the association. It was who with Abel?

Reality doesn't really impinge on your thinking much does it? Funny that the government grew more under champions of smaller government like Reagan and Shrub than under left wing fanatics like Obummer, LBJ, Carter or Clinton. The point, which you fail to comprehend, was the right wing is always saying they want smaller government, until they get in power. Then there is a roman orgy of defence spending and corporate welfare without cutting anything else except taxes for the wealthy. What is even funnier is the mindless sheeple worshipping at the alter of conservatism, like you, actually believe the right wing fanatics cut the size government. The modern conservative movement exists only to enrich the 1% who are laughing all the way to the bank about sucking in the rubes with "fair and balanced" fear mongering about god, guns, anyone non white, and "big" government. Big being defined as any money not spent making the 1% wealthier.

DNC is upset that their "allies" didn't send in protestors so they sent out interns.

Back at ya. I'm against the defense spending as well. But the real problem is in the legacy of the left wing jackasses. Things like medicare, social security, obummer care, the federal department of homeland security, energy, education, epa, etc etc etc.
That is where government grows exponentially

Whatever dude. Pull your head out of the mises asshole. Left or right they all spend and spend. The only difference is the right wing sheeple have been indoctrinated by the people pocketing the money while laughing their asses off to believe the "real problem" is spending by the left. Spending by the right isn't "real" government spending. You prove my point time and time again. baa,baa,baa.

The reason for the entitlement crisis is only because of what I have pointed out. Americans are experiencing compound government growth because of the democrat legacy, not to mention that the major wars have been started by democrats save one which was started by Bush who was really another democrat.

TD, welcome back to 2010. It's pretty nice here, huh? You should definitely buy some CA real estate and stocks. I mean, seriously. Take a fucking loan or something. Whatever it takes.

Just to make the point more clear to the dimbulbs: Obama inherited a huge government deficit with an expense to GDP ratio in the low 40s. The expense to GDP ratio is now back down to 34%.
If Trump is elected, it's going way the fuck up. He's planning on tricking as many investors as possible before defaulting.

TD's chart indicates the spending is quite similiar.
But entitlements were all brought to you by democrats. Nothing better to a politician to commit to spending that will not come due on his watch. Obama is on the short list for doing that.
All but one of the wars were started by democrats.

Fair enough. I just liked the visual. It's easy to understand. I wish I could find one like this that runs all the way out to 2016. But I think it actually proves your point even though it doesn't go to 2016. So, you're welcome. It shows that spending increases, period.
So, why don't you stop assuming that I'm incapable to looking at information objectively and crafting all your responses around the premise that my position MUST be the opposite of what you were trying to say. And I will try to find a simple, easy to understand graph that goes further out than 2010. K? Also, I think the breakdown of types of spending are interesting... but overall it goes up.

It's so terribly unfair how the voters rigged the election by giving Clinton more votes.
It's a conspiracy.

Exactly. You'd think Yes would have appreciate that level of objectivity. It's like you cannot get credit for anything... even when you are stipulating to parts of their very own arguments. Rs & Ls are just so evil, we must be up to something. And yes, the breakdown IS very interesting.

Fair enough.
You posted a chart with no commentary. The chart highlights that Obama has the highest expense to GDP ratio, so I figured that was one of the points that the chart creator was making. If you want to use the chart to make some other point, you should probably post some commentary, or I am going to misinterpret your point.
As far as the last 4 years go, if you don't know that the deficit has gone down and the expense to GDP ratio has gone down, please read up on Obama's economic accomplishments. I didn't know off-hand what the expense to GDP ratio has done, but I do know that he cut the deficit in half, which means that the GDP (base for taxes) has been growing more than spending. It was very quick to look up the expense to GDP ratio to quantify things.

They are mostly in an echo chamber looking to be patted on the head for saying the right things to demonstrate their loyalty.

One other thing I wonder about, is Hillary in bad health?
She's on thyroid medication. Coughing is a known side effect. That seems much more likely than pulmonary emboli or COPD.

Got any other dis-information you'd like to share?
You are a moron. Obama inherited a shit storm. I can't believe he did well enough to get reelected. In 2008, I figured he's be blamed for the heap of dung Bush left for him to step in. He's been turning it around. Your debt to GDP chart says it all.

First of all, she is a woman, so she is weak and probably has osteoporosis. She would probably lose her breath while kicking the shit out of PussyYesYNot.
Trump, OTOH, is the best. In the words of his minister of personal health information:
"If elected, Mr. Trump, I can state unequivocally, will be the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency."
If that's really his doctor, I'm thinking that he hasn't been getting the best health info.

In one email dated May 5, 2016, with the subject line “No s–t,†the chief financial officer of the Democratic National Committee, Brad Marshall, plotted how to try to portray Sanders, who is Jewish, as an atheist. “It might [make] no difference, but for KY and WVA can we get someone to ask his belief,†Marshall wrote, apparently referring to Sanders’s run just ahead of the Kentucky and West Virginia primaries.
“Does he believe in a God[?] He had skated on saying he has a Jewish heritage. I think I read he is an atheist,†Marshall said. “This could make several points difference with my peeps. My Southern Baptist peeps would draw a big difference between a Jew and atheist.â€
The chief executive officer at the DNC, Amy Dacey, responded with a single-word email: “Amen.â€
The DNC was supposed to be neutral in its party primary between Hillary Clinton and the Vermont senator.
But the latest batch of emails confirms the party establishment was in the tank for Clinton well before the primary had been decided by voters.
And top DNC officials were not happy when they were called out for taking sides.
DNC chief Debbie Wasserman Schultz sent an email to NBC anchor Chuck Todd complaining about MSNBC’s “Morning Joe†co-host Mika Brzezinski, who was calling on her to step down.
The heading read: “Chuck, this must stop!â€
Wasserman Schultz said she wasn’t confident that a meeting with the anchor would go well.
“She’s already served as a judge and jury without even bothering to talk to me. Not sure why I should trust having a conversation with her would make any difference. Or that she even matters, to be frank,†she said in a May 19, 2016, message.

The DNC’s national press secretary, Mark Paustenbach, wrote to Wasserman Schultz’s communications director Luis Miranda, “Wondering if there's a good Bernie narrative for a story, which is that Bernie never ever had his act together, that his campaign was a mess. Specifically, DWS (Debbie Wasserman Schultz) had to call Bernie directly in order to get the campaign to do things because they'd either ignored or forgotten to something critical.â€
After Sanders’ campaign chair denied false claims of violence by the Sanders campaign at the Nevada state convention, Wasserman Schultz called the chair “scummy†and a “(d)amn liar.†When Paustenbach was contacted by the Boston Globe to comment on senator Claire McCaskill’s critique of Wasserman Schultz, Miranda chimed in that “McCaskill has no backbone†because of her support for Sanders in the Nevada controversy.
Reacting to Sanders’ promise to stay in the race at least until California, Wasserman Schultz wrote to Paustenbach, “Spoken like someone who has never been a member of the Democratic Party and has no understanding of what we do.†Miranda simply emailed, “lol†while forwarding his boss an article on Sanders’s plan to debate in California.
