So what is your point about "left wing think tank"?
By the way, the graph you posted uses CBO numbers, too. And they appear to be rather the same numbers as the graph I posted 
Except your graph shows slightly less deficit projection, and is far kinder to Obama's presidency.
But unlike my graph, you didn't reveal what "think tank" created your graph. Where did you get your graph?
Why post a graph of just the deficit? Nobody is debating there's a huge deficit, or what those numbers are estimated to be. That wasn't the point of my post.
The point of my graph was to show, not just the amount of the deficit, but where it came from and what spending caused it . |
Your graph is projections interpreted by CBPP using CBO numbers and my graph is from the CBO with projections made by the CBO. See the difference? The point is the CBO graph proved yours to be WAY off and actually fraudulent. The wars were going on way before 2009, the Bush tax cuts were in place since the end of 2001 for the first and 2003 for the second. During Bush's 7 years following the devastating 9-11 attacks he went from just over a a 100 billion deficit to just over 400 billion and thus increased the deficit by 300 billion over 7 years. He did fight two wars, all with the same Bush tax cut that now for Obama is unaffordable and again overcame 9-11.
Meanwhile not to be outdone Obama has taken the deficit to a whole new level going from 400 billion to 1,850 billion IN ONE YEAR. that’s 1,450 billion or almost five times what Bush did seven years in ONE YEAR!!!! Less war same tax cuts. What gives? Now Obama is trying to recreate himself as Reagan? Please.
