Because I'm so tired correcting Paul Ryan, genius, that I'll leave it to a "picture worth a thousand words," via
Motley Cow:
CBO
concluded that by fiscal year 2012 -- the current fiscal year -- the
president’s budget proposal would increase federal outlays to $3.7 trillion.
That’s a 6 percent increase -- a far cry from doubling.
Going even beyond that by ten years:
If you take a longer time horizon, the outlays come closer
to doubling, but still not close. By fiscal year 2021 -- the final year for
which CBO provided its analysis and long after Obama will have left office --
federal outlays would reach $5.8 trillion. That’s an increase of 66 percent,
which is still not double.
