Spending bills are what the House passes. Obama isn't the House, he's the executive that writes the checks to pay for what the House passes.

Obama has cut spending, and you're operating off of figures from Dubya who kept double books on the Iraq and Afghan wars to Obama who quit the double-booking and put those wars in their proper place in the budget.  You can't whine about Obama pulling out and cutting defense while whining about how he's tripled the debt.  All Obama did was over-the-table bookkeeping from the era where Republicans were keeping 2 sets of books, one of them under the table.

Obama cut Spending?  Maybe you missed the headline where he ADDED 5 Trillion to the debt.  That does not seem to be cutting to me
