Very interesting, BONY. Thanks for posting.

Maybe Cheney was wrong. Maybe deficits DO matter.

Yes, it looks bleak, but we need to see a graph of it against GNP which has grown exponentially, even since Reagan.
Keep the faith, and stay out of debt.

Scaling on the Y axis in not uniform and the Y axis should be plotted on a logarithmic scale. Another interesting number to plot would be the percentage of total tax revenues (Fed, state and local) vs. GDP over time.

Eisenhower.. "Beware of the military-industrial complex"

that was the first thing that came to mind after looking at the graph.

The issue is the two party system .... the resolution? If I knew, I wouldn't tell.
