I guess you can't argue with that, they have you in the crushing grip of their reasoned replies.

I do wonder if they were banging their sippy cups on the high chair or the floor when they posted.

You've presented your chart without correct context.

Bush's tax receipts came in on a buyant economy powered by the huge personal debt taken on by the American public.

Obama inherited an economy flatlining. His expenditure is a fiscal stimulus to get the economy kick started again.

The way you've presented this data suggests that you're deliberatly misleading your audience - thereby destroying your credibility. Its a pity because there is a very strong argument to be made regarding the impact of an expanded public sector and welfare state on America's long term competitiveness.

Also, your graph neglects mentioning that much of the 2009-2011 budget is spent on the wars begun under Bush that we have not yet been able to withdraw from. Withdrawal would allow the terrorists to attack the U.S. on U.S. soil as so widely feared by the Republicans. They believe it much wiser to keep military spending high, keep our presences in the middle east, and keep our uniformed youth in harm's way than risk the money they have in their investments.

The huge deficit was caused by the tax cuts, the continued tax cuts, and the wars. Even Republicans with some education should be able to understand this. No taxes, no income. Let's face it, can you pay your bills if you don't get paid?

So does FoolsBelieveArticlesLikeThis actually want terrorists to attack the U.S. on U.S. soil again?

What the graph neglects to mention is that the last of the "Bush years" was actually with a Democrat-controlled Congress doing the spending; otherwise, the spending was already trending the other way.

"It's the spending, stupid."

Oh, and if BHO would get his boot off the throat of American business, revenues could start increasing, too, without any new taxes.

Quick question to repulicans, what's it feel like to be brainwashed? Does it tingle or hurt at all?

Actually, Veeshir, I was banging you on the floor. It was very romantic though, I assure you.
