Another right-wing lie nipped in the bud:
Obama spending binge never happened - Rex Nutting - MarketWatch
PolitiFact | Facebook post on target about Obama's spending
CHART: Spending, Taxes, And Deficits Are All Lower Today Than When Obama Took Office | ThinkProgress
The entire list of problems with Nutting's analysis may never get published, but the Glenn Kessler of the Washington Post did a pretty good job on this one. The Associated Press did an even better job (to my surprise).
