Despite all of the rhetoric coming out of Washington
about cutting federal spending and living within our
means, the numbers don't lie. According to the recently
released numbers by the Congressional Budget Office, our
Federal Government spending was up 5% in 2011 over what
we spent in 2010. This marks the largest year of budget
expenditures in our nation's history.
The Federal government spent an alarming $3.6 trillion
dollars in 2011, more than the previous year and even
more than 2009 when President Obama pushed his failed
Stimulus package through an attempt to spend us out of
a recession.
