Spending Like Eisenhower

WASHINGTON D.C. -- A deal has been reached in the ongoing soap opera of the national debt ceiling. Ending a perilous stalemate, President B-Rock Obama announced agreement Sunday night with Republican congressional leaders on a compromise to avoid the nation's first-ever financial default. The deal would cut more than $2 trillion from federal spending over a decade. Superman President B-Rock Obama says, if enacted, the agreement would mean "the lowest level of domestic spending since Dwight Eisenhower was president" more than a half century ago. Here at The Lemon that line sounded very familiar. If you recall it was in mid-February when B-Rock said his administration had the lowest level of domestic spending since Dwight Eisenhower. So is he saying his level of spending really isn't changing? And does anyone actually know what domestic spending was when Eisenhower was president? I guess the Kool-aid drinkers at MSNBC won't be asking that anytime soon.
