Budget Increases Spending 62% Over Next Decade

Senator Patty Murray, the Democratic chair of the Senate Budget Committee, finally released a budget today. Year over year, in this proposed budget, spending jumps dramatically.

For instance, from this year's budget to next year's proposed budget, spending would increase by $162 billion. This year, the federal government will spend $3.599 trillion; under Murray's budget, the federal government would be on track to spend even more.

Over the next decade, spending under Murray's budget would increase by 62 percent. Here's a chart from the Republican side of the Senate Budget Committee detailing the increase in spending over the next decade:

Unless they have some master plan to also grow the economy by more than 62% in the next decade, I wonder where they'll get the money.
