I like the cartoon. But I must point out that if the smaller hole represents a half billion, by comparison, the edge of the larger hole representing 1.85 trillion dollars in deficits under Obama ...at the scale in the drawing...would probably appear as a straight line. 1.85 trillion a big ass number. The small hole is labeled "500 billion", not a "half billion".
The big hole at 1.85 trillion would only be 3.7 times as large as the small hole.
To be in scale the large hole, with a surface area 3.7 times the small hole, would have a radius just about two times the radius of the small hole. So to me the proportions look fairly close.
Right you are. I realized my error after posting....then hoped no one would notice.
I should know better on FR.
