Reasonable people can disagree on spending, taxes, and deficits--but consistency is important. Obama's deficits were driven by stimulus policies to get us out of the 2008-09 crisis.

Trump is now about to do the same (on top of his previous policies designed to feed the stock market as Joey noted).

I noted earlier that I agreed with Trump's stimulus comments of the past couple of days (just as I agreed with Obama's 10 years ago). I wonder if the Trump supporters who railed against the Obama stimulus will now rail against the Trump stimulus? Or applaud the Trump stimulus and opine that they were wrong about Obama? Or come up with some sort of lame evasion for their inconsistency?
