That weakening occurred in two stages. The first took place when Pelosi, Reid and Obama decided to ramp up spending from an already far too high $2.98 trillion in fiscal 2008 to a dangerous $3.57 trillion in fiscal 2010 (the “official” 2010 spending figure is lower because Tim Geithner’s Treasury Department engaged in TARP-related accounting manipulation which made fiscal 2009 look worse than fiscal 2010, when that wasn’t really the case), primarily by passing a “stimulus” program which stimulated nothing but massive levels of waste, fraud and abuse.
