Title: Obama's out of control spending
Post by: Vern on January 30, 2013, 04:20:01 PM
In feb 2008, Bush asked for and got a 3.1 trillion dollar budget for FY 2009.  From the CBO Budget Outlook in Jan 2008, revenue was expected to be 2.8 trillion.   

http://www.cbo.gov/publication/41661 (http://www.cbo.gov/publication/41661)

In jan 2008, the CBO was not even predicting a recession let alone the worst recession since the depression.  So Bush's last budget started Oct 1 2008 (thats when the fiscal year starts).     Q4 2008 GDP was -8.9%. (Job losses were 2.1 million Nov 2008- Jan 2009.)

http://www.bea.gov/iTable/iTable.cfm?ReqID=9&step=1 (http://www.bea.gov/iTable/iTable.cfm?ReqID=9&step=1)

So, the CBO does its annual Budget Outlook on Jan 7, 2009 for the current fiscal year.   uh oh, before President Obama even took over, the CBO has revised Bush's 300 billion dollar budget deficit to 1.2 trillion.  OUCH. 

Date of estimate____1/09
Total Revenues___2,357
Total Outlays___3,543

Post by: Vern on January 30, 2013, 04:36:37 PM
Just so you know, -8.9 % GDP and 2.1 million job losses is depression - esque. 

So the CBO revised spending up 450 billion and revenues down 450 billion (before President Obama took over).  Recessions cost money. More people retiring and collecting SS, more people collecting unemployment.  And then there was the 700 billion dollar TARP bill. And few people are aware of the 300 billion dollar GSE bailout. 

"On September 6, 2008, the Federal Housing Finance Agency exercised authority provided under the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 (P.L. 110-289) to place Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac into conservatorship. In August 2009, CBO estimated net subsidy costs related to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac at $291 billion for FY2009."

http://www.fas.org/sgp/crs/misc/R41134.pdf (http://www.fas.org/sgp/crs/misc/R41134.pdf)

OUCH again.  so bailouts (plural) and recession costs add up quickly.  Dont worry, I already know you pubs are screaming "STIMULUS" but the CBO 2009 Budget outlook does not include that. It came out before it.   So lets look at FY 2009 actuals

________________1/09___actuals
Total Revenues____2,357__ 2,105
Total Outlays_____3,543___ 3,518

http://www.cbo.gov/publication/41880 (http://www.cbo.gov/publication/41880)   

So the final budget deficit for FY 2009 was 1.4 trillion.  Thats 200 billion more than the CBO predicted. But oddly spending only went up 400 billion. Revenue collapsed another 250 billion. So revenue declined 700 billion while spending went up 400 billion. If I had to say what the biggest cause of the deficit is I would have to say revenue collapse.

You started a thread about spending because of conversations you have had with people none of us here know and you focus on one year...because of conversations you have had with people none of us know.  And you are apparently assuming that we agree with the conversations you have had with people none of us know. How the hell can we actually debate that? As far as Obama and spending in 2009. He is responsible for spending in 2009 and yes it was reckless. Start with the stimulus.

Date of estimate___1/10____actuals
Total Revenues___ 2,175___ 2,162
Total Outlays____ 3,524___ 3,456

http://www.cbo.gov/publication/21999 (http://www.cbo.gov/publication/21999)

now the estimate from 1/10 is CBO Budget Outlook for FY 2010.  The actuals come from the CBO Budget Outlook for FY 2011. mmm, I'm still not seeing the "out of control spending" or the "its only a spending issue". I still see collapsed revenue though.  But the deficit has come down slightly. So the deficit is down on a nominal basis and as function of GDP.

Obama entered office in 2009 and he is responsible for most of that spending. Start there.

Mr Boo, you just posted something that I've proven is at best an 'exageration' . Mr Stall as a moderator of this fact based forum, please do your duty.  and Mr Boo, I haven't just focused on 2009. You started whining before I could finish.

Lets look at FY 2011, President Obama's second budget

If you want to jump for joy because the deficit went up 2 billion on a nominal basis. I could explain the use of 'supplemental budgets' to put it on the same basis but lets just say it went down as a % of GDP.  Mmmmm, I'm still seeing it more as revenue issue than a spending issue.  anybody seeing it different?

I can tell you the budget deficit was 1.1 trillion for FY 2012.  Thats a nominal drop in the deficit and as a % of GDP. thats good right?

Mr stall, lets discuss this together. See how Mr Boo literally creates a false narrative right in front of us.  I've clearly shown and proven that the biggest cause of current deficits is revenue destruction. Somehow he interprets that as me sayin "trillion dollar deficit are responsible" .  He cant argue what I post so he has to create a false narrative to argue.  Facts seem to upset him so much he creates a fantasy world to retreat to. Can you believe I deal with all the time.

When government itself is out of control, it doesn't make much sense to get into chicken and egg arguments over Clinton vs Bush, or Bush vs Obama. It's like telling a kid to choose between his alcoholic father and his crack addict mother.

Basing arguments on CBO estimates is also BS. All we can go by is what's already been done. It's unsustainable.

http://www.usgovernmentspending.com/us_20th_century_chart.html (http://www.usgovernmentspending.com/us_20th_century_chart.html)

Should we be singing Happy Days Are here Again?

Recent US Federal Deficit Numbers
Obama Deficits           Bush Deficits
FY 2013*: $901 billion FY 2009†: $1,413 billion 
FY 2012: $1,089 billion FY 2008: $459 billion
FY 2011: $1,300 billion FY 2007: $161 billion
FY 2010: $1,293 billion

Although the federal deficit is the amount each year by which federal outlays in the federal budget exceed federal receipts, the gross federal debt increases each year by substantially more than the amount of the deficit each year. That is because a substantial amount of federal borrowing is not counted in the budget. See here.

Note:

* Federal Deficit is budgeted.
† Some people have emailed to insist that the FY 2009 deficit should be assigned to Obama. Good point.

Read you damn link, I did, and it is full of "IFs" if this happens, then this would be the outcome, if the law doesn't change, then it could do this, but if, and on and on and on, it's nothing but a theory based on if.

Post by: Vern on February 06, 2013, 06:40:41 AM
Okay solar, so your point is the word "if" is used in the CBO Budget Outlook.  I bet the word "if" is used in all the CBO links I've posted in this thread.  Budget estimates require assumptions. they have to tell you "if current law.... ".  In 2008, their estimate was off because it didnt account the stimulus check Bush mailed out in Q2.  So if the "ifs" bother you, focus on the actuals.  Actuals dont have "ifs"

this seems a perfectly good use of the word "if".  (just read the first part solar)

"The federal budget deficit, which shrank as a percentage of GDP for the third year in a row in 2012, will fall again in 2013, if current laws remain the same."

And don't forget, its an estimate of the current FY.  (you do remember that the current FY starts 10/1 of the previous calendar year).  So if you look at the previous CBO  estimates I posted, I'd say they are in the ball park.  Now "if" we default on our debt I'm sure the numbers would change but nobody needs that explained to them do they?

Still waiting on that link to the budget.  You don't have to go all the way back... just post the last one Obama passed.

It doesn't matter. According to Vera everything happened under Bush. Bush is to blame for everything. Even budgets he never signed. We are back to debating talking points from 2008.

Vera's ignorance was obvious from day one when he blamed Bush for 2009 spending. If he had done his homework he would have known that because Congress is so useless the budget for 2009 was not brought up until 2009 and Obama loaded it up and signed it with blame going to Bush.

When the Obama bubble bursts, it will change the dynamics of the entire planet. Just a wild guess, but I'm thinking that the US dollar will no longer be the global currency.

I agree. This fiscal insanity is unsustainable and will have a global impact. I have been around long enough there are consequences to any action, good and bad. Personally, I would like to see the disaster come to a head sooner rather then later. Then we can go about the diffcult task of returning to reality.

Or maybe an entirely new reality. Obama is playing his role perfectly............

When all you have ever known is spending money that has been given to you.  YOu did not have to earn it is was a gift or a grant.  You have no conception of the value of the money.  We need a president that understand business from a real perspective.  I mean that they have worked at it not read about it.
