no comment on the OP's graph, I see? Just posting another one?
There were comments made on the OP's graph, proven to be a LIE.. But that doesnt stop liberals from repeating the same old lies, like little lemmings..
The only ignorance is PG's logic and historical contextualization. By PG's logic, Obama should have vetoed the 2009 spending bill in the middle of the biggest financial meltdown since the Great Depression, requiring Congress to either override his veto or consume a great deal of political energy concerned with raising the debt while throwing financial markets into complete disarray. Brilliant.
Meanwhile on January 21st, Obama should have issued a order to almost 200,000 troops saying, "hey fellas, I know you've been fighting for 7 years just drop your weapons and come on home! Oh, that would have sat well with Republicans not to mention the logistical fact that it simply couldn't be done.
Now with regards to the PG's erroneous regurgitation of erroneous claims regarding the Bush tax cuts....
Cut spending. No deficits. Flat tax - everyone pays an equitable share of the costs. Confine the Federal Government to Constitutional mandates only.
The solution is really not that difficult - you either bring in more, or spend less. We can't bring in enough to cover what we have spent and what we have planned to spend. So we have to cut spending. If you want to bring in more money, expand the tax base. Reduce unemployment - that will bring in more & reduce payout entitlements. I will compromise and raise the tax rate - with an equal decrease in corporate taxes to help businesses.
What the current plans will do is slow the growth. It cuts nothing.
Problems creep in when we move from the objective realm to the subjective realm. Class warfare and divisive politics. Entitlements. Politicians keeping their power. We need to stay away from these things.
IC - I am not opposing your post - just using it as a platform.

um, there are 13 different federal budgets. not one, and the ones Obama signed in 2009 were so full of pork and massive federal spending increases, much of which had anything to do with the recession.
Had revenues grown at the same rate as the overall economy between 2003 and 2006, federal receipts would have increased by only $373 billion. The other $252 billion of the actual increase in revenues represents growth in excess of GDP growth
If you STOP LYING, I wont have to keep regurgitating FACTS..
