"Under Obama next year it will go to almost 27%!! That is higher than at any time since WWII." It would be nice to have a chart like this that is extended to show the projected rate under Obama. The liberal meme that "Reagan almost bankrupt the nation" is a joke, once the facts become apparent.

See my chart in #20. I looked but cannot find a similar chart that has %age of GDP deficit, but it sure can be constructed from the CBO budget estimations.

It would also be good to have the chart show spending and taxes both... a chart like this that extends into Obama years ...
