The Obama-Pelosi-Reid Regime tripled the national deficit in one year.

(The Captain's Comments)

Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) says spending has increased 84% under the Obama-Pelosi regime.
The Hill reported:

Republican Rep. Paul Ryan (Wis.), who is set to take over the House Budget Committee next year, said federal spending has increased a whopping 84 percent under President Obama.

The budget for the Environmental Protection Agency has increased by 124 percent under Obama, according to Ryan, who counted stimulus spending in his analysis.

Ryan and other Republicans are calling for a $100 billion cut in non-defense discretionary spending to bring it back to 2008 levels.

"There have been so many massive spending increases, 24 percent in the base budget, 84 percent when you add the stimulus," Ryan said in an interview on Fox News Sunday.

"We have had spending on a gusher. And if borrowing and spending and taxing and spending actually created jobs and produced prosperity, we wouldn't have all this joblessness," he said.
