I am. OMB.gov has all the relevent statistical data anyone could ever need. Some of it goes back to 1940 and even 1790. It doesn't matter how many people live in America. Its how much money is being spent and on what programs. Right now Bush`s overall spending on welfare and entitlement programs is fast approaching 2/3rds of the entire federal budget. Bush has done a remarkable job in prosecuting the WOT, but he's slacking off on funding for national defense in the budget. The data is quite clear.
>>>>If we had the same Reagan budget in todays economy the deficient would be over a trillion dollars and if we adjusted for inflation it would be over 2 trillion dollars.
LOL And you say I'm not playing with a full deck of statistics. I think I know where you're pulling your data from and its not coming from OMB.gov. Your pulling data from a space called, 'uranus'.
No the math can be made complex but its pretty simple. Reagan budget deficient 6%. Bush budget deficient 2.7 % or ~450 billion dollars. a 6% budget deficient today would be over 1 trillion dollars and a accumulate inflation rate of a 100% is 2 trillion dollars. You can find Reagans 6% deficient number, Bush's 2.7% deficient number, Bush's 450 billion dollar deficient, and inflation rate at OMB.gov but you have to know how to do math. I anticipated the slight when I posted and take no offense. Logic dictates that slight and accusation occur when there is insufficient thought.
