Politifact has now updated its work on the claim, universal on the right ? and repeated often by Paul Ryan ? that discretionary non-defense spending is up 80 percent under Obama.
It?s completely false. As anyone who knows how to read federal statistics should have known, the real number ? including the stimulus ? is 26 percent. And it?s now in the process of falling off.
The discretionary spending falsehood is a key part of the claim that Obama has presided over a vast expansion of government; as I?ve tried to explain, the only real area of rapid growth has been in safety net programs that spend more when there is high unemployment.
So, two questions.
First, why wasn?t this obvious to everyone? I mean, where are those huge new government programs?
Second, why did I have to be the one pointing out this falsehood? Doesn?t the White House have any kind of response team? Or are they so eager to be bipartisan that they don?t want to point out that Ryan is talking nonsense?
