Wall Street Journal Extremely Right - Romney Extremely Wrong

The Obama spending binge that Mitt Romney constantly complains about?

It never happened. 

Obama the Big Spender is a Romney cum Tea Party fantasy.

The Wall Street Journal - even the Wall Street Journal - knows better than to back up Romney on this one.

There simply has never been an Obama federal  “debt and spending inferno,” as Romney claims.

Here is what Rex Nutting of MarketWatch has to say:

Of all the falsehoods told about President Barack Obama, the biggest whopper is the one about his reckless spending spree.

As would-be president Mitt Romney tells it: “I will lead us out of this debt and spending inferno.”

Almost everyone believes that Obama has presided over a massive increase in federal spending, an “inferno” of spending that threatens our jobs, our businesses and our children’s future. Even Democrats seem to think it’s true.

But it didn’t happen. Although there was a big stimulus bill under Obama, federal spending is rising at the slowest pace since Dwight Eisenhower brought the Korean War to an end in the 1950s.

Etc.
