Notice the deficit was declining each year after 04 until the Dems were in control of Congress.
No Republican should be allowed to leave home without several copies of your chart to
shove in the faces of Democrats.

that's the great thing about, the graphs....
solid facts, on understandable graphics.

and yes, Every Conservative should have these graphs printed on 3X5 cards asking, "You better off today than '07-08"

Anyone who uses this graph to talk to their mother-in-law, neighbor or book club colleague should make sure to point out that “everyone knows that spending did not go down during the Bush years, so Revenues Must Have Gone UP! after the Bush tax cuts. Perhaps “revenue” has to be explained for people who have not “been interested in politics” until now: taxes PAID by people who were working in those years.

Now money is being shoveled out from the Treasury to people who are not working, and no number of billionaires and corporate jet buyers can compensate for that fact.
