The chart is about "ANNUALIZED GROWTH of FEDERAL SPENDING"...If you want to try to make it about something else, have fun. What you posted had ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with the chart. It doesn't change the fact that lies about Obama's Federal spending, and the FACT that it's 1.4%, (as compared to over 8.7% for Reagan, and 8.1% for Bush) is a total falsehood... But that's okay, by tomorrow, the Romney camp will flip-flop on the statement, and change their website accordingly...if necessary.
It doesn't change the WSJ's numbers...or Romney's lies about it. I have yet to see you post anything about the OP...
Is there some part of that you're having trouble with? A little trouble with reading-comprehension there, Fred?
I kind of feel sorry for you... Since you lose sight of the point so quickly...So, here it is again:
Slowest Federal Spending in decades.
"Since President Obama assumed office three years ago, federal spending has accelerated at a pace without precedent in recent history."--MittRomney.com
"Government spending under Obama, including his signature stimulus bill, is rising at a 1.4% annualized pace
-- slower than at any time in nearly 60 years." -- Wall Street Journal, 5-22-2012
