I understand Rob, but we've got to have something to tell us what's going on!
As a percentage of GDP seems apropos to me. Yes, it's low, by what, 1%? Stop the presses. Increasing deficits, well take a look at what the Dems are doing to us right now. That is ALL about spending, not the (current) tax burden. Pete

Cheney is a whack job. Is now and always has been. And Hannity isn't much more sensible.
BTW, take a closer look at that last chart, and when the historical rises in deficits are. Like the period between about 1980 and about 1992-4, then again from 2001 to the present for example. But, then again, wasn't it Cheney who said deficits don't really matter? Oh that's right, deficits don't matter unless it's Democrats that are running them up. Of course there is WW2, but I think that may have been a bit different. Dave

Look at 08 to 09 spending.

I guess what he means is Reagan taught us that when Republicans run up record deficits, as they did in the 12 year Reagan-Bush presidencies, a Democrat will eventually come along and clean up the mess. After inheriting those deficits Clinton managed to leave office with a surplus. I hope Obama can at least put a dent in the damage Shrub did. John

It was sort of like when a departing tenant blows out the pilot light on the gas water heater then when the new tenant comes in and the place blows up they get blamed.
