An Obama Spending Spree? Hardly
TPM’s Sahil Kapur looks at the numbers behind a recurrent theme of recent budget debates:
A dominant theme of the national political discourse has been the crushing spending spree the U.S. has ostensibly embarked on during the Obama presidency. That argument, ignited by Republicans and picked up by many elite opinion makers, has infused the national dialogue and shaped the public debate in nearly every major budget battle of the last thee years.
But the numbers tell a different story.
The fact that the national debt has risen from $10.6 trillion to $15.6 trillion under Obama’s watch makes for easy partisan attacks. But the vast bulk of the increase was caused by a combination of revenue losses due to the 2008-09 economic downturn as well as Bush-era tax cuts and automatic increases in safety-net spending that were already written into law.
Obama’s policies, including the much-criticized stimulus package, have caused the slowest increase in federal spending of any president in almost 60 nears, according to data compiled by the financial news service MarketWatch.

Monoprice tablet (10x6.25” widescreen w/ hotkeys) REVIEW — with comparison to Wacom Intuos 3
DISCLAIMER: I was not paid to write this review.
Additional apologies for the size dimension mistake in the graphic above and below: it’s 10x6.25”, not 10x6.5”.
As many of you have seen the hype for the Monoprice tablets going around on Tumblr not too long ago, I was also extremely intrigued and purchased the widescreen 10x6.5” tablet with hotkeys for myself at an amazing price of $49.60 plus shipping. The tablet itself arrived within two days and I was eager to try it out. For reference, I run Windows 7 on a PC with Photoshop CS4 and occasionally work in Paint Tool SAI.

fuck you guys. I eat like a French maid gettin’ dick in a porno. I will never be under 110.
this triggers me so bad…
So I need to lose 60 lbs to be perfect. seems legit.
Okay…
Now I don’t usually think this stuff is correct, BUT THIS IS A FUCKING ABOMINATION. I have been 5’9” since the 8th grade. Now I wasn’t concerned about my weight then, so I don’t know how much I weighed. HOWEVER, I feel compelled to say that my senior year of high school I was obviously still 5’9”, 125 pounds, AND LOOKED LIKE THIS:
Even my photographer told me I was possibly too thin. If anyone reads that chart and thinks that the “Perfect” column is something they should strive for, YOU’RE GONNA END UP IN THE HOSPITAL.
this is some fucking bullshit. this is the kinda shit that kills people and makes them miserable.
laughing my fucking ass off… i’d have to lose like, 100+ pounds to be their idea of “perfect”
suck my clit you assholes…
6’0 and 118 pounds? Oh a diet of what? Unicorn piss and bubble gum?!
I can’t with this shit.
