BTW When the graph is titled Legacy of Bush Policies? Enough said.

Stop with the "lefty group", that's absurd and silly. There is nothing wrong with that graph, it's appeared in multiple sources for the past year and it's been vetted.

Are you crazy? The stuff is there in front of your eyes - Look at the graph! The itemization cost over time of the two wars are listed, the various recovery measures are listed, and the white at the bottom contains the regular routine stuff exclusive of the itemized stuff at the top.

Geeshus cripes. Dell - your graph is the budget for one year. The graph I posted is the debt we owe. Two different things. I have no idea what you are trying to say with your budget graph, other than to list a bunch of random gross cuts you would make off the top of your head.
