“2009 spending levels were already elevated in the midst of what was to be temporary federal stimulus.”

It is why Dems refuse to create and pass any budget, even one straight from Obama.
That elevated stimulus spending level has become part of the ”new normal” on which each year since 2009 our spending has ballooned up.

there was the costly election, those GOOGLE experts
did not work for nothing in the underground platform,
the scientists on OBAMA RE ELECTION ONLY MANAGING THE WEB,
