The bailout was expensive, but most was paid back with interest I believe.

Obama believed in quantitative easing, which is expensive but eventually worked. He also inherited the wars which are insanely expensive.

Some of his spending was inherited and necessary. Some was absolutely at his discretion.

No lies, no sir. I don't need to, because my goal isn't to blindly defend one ideology and attack the other. I have no problem with facing whatever the truth is, I'm not Pete or Spence.
