When Bush left office there was a $410 billion spending bill sitting on his desk. Bush refused to sign it. Obama DID sign it, and the bill became law. The $410 billion in additional spending was credited by Nutting to Bush, who did not sign the spending bill, and not to Obama, who did.
By the end of Bush’s term the market panic had passed. There were hundreds of billions of dollars in unspent TARP funds left. Bush announced that he would NOT spend this money. Obama, though, asked Bush to release the funds to him. Bush did so. Obama spent another $200 billion of Tarp funds before the fiscal year ended. This spending was credited to Bush, who had said he would not spend it, to Obama, who did.
Then there was the stimulus bill. There’s another $835 billion. The stimulus bill was passed at Obama’s behest, signed by Obama, and most of the money – all but $140 billion – was gone by the end of the fiscal year. Again … this spending was credited to Bush. Nutting did credit the $140 in stimulus spending which occurred after the end of the final Bush fiscal year to Obama. What a guy! [link to www.boortz.com]
