I think it's to say Obama has proposed more spending over the next four years than the rest of the presidents ever combined.
Well, even I would never presume to put words in Rove's mouth. However, since Reagan's first budget in 1982 through Bush's last budget for FY 2009, the federal government spent over $45 trillion. Do the math.
I'm not putting words in anyone's mouth. The Obama administration "raised discretionary spending by 24 percent from President George W. Bush's last full-year budget and will run up more debt by October than Bush did in eight years." Karl Rove on Sunday, January 10th, 2010 in the Washington Post
Needless to say you start adding in Obamacare and the by time the REAL price tag emerges from all of the various entitlement programs it will be too late to do much more than raise taxes.
