Why does Obamas Entitlement spending dwarf Bushs war spending?

[Vincent]

Both Bush and Obama spent money on entitlement programs. Its not just Obama's. If they didn't the country would be in a disastrous situation due to destitution, and extreme hunger. By the way, Obama is usually called the "food stamp president" but the food stamp program exploded under Bush.

Obama has continued Bush's foreign policy and has actually expanded things like the drone program so that's not all Bush.

Also, social security shouldn't be considered an entitlement program. Its a program where you pay money into it early in life, and get that money back later on. Its by no means an entitlement program.

The reasons for the current economic crisis (low wages, unemployment, etc.) are numerous and can not be blamed on one party. (both work for wall street though)
