Perhaps because the U.S. Federal Deficit climbed from $2.73 trillion in 2007 to $3.52 trillion in 2009 and in 2009 alone, overall federal spending increased by $536 billion or 18 percent.I don't wonder about that. I wonder why so many only noticed the out of control spending in Washington after Obama was sworn in.
