Deficits With and Without the Iraq War.

Chart of the Day

American Thinker: Iraq: The War That Broke Us -- Not

Soooooooooooo, anyone see any alarming trends or deficits from 2003 till 2007 in the chart? NO, in fact the trend through 2007 was SHRINKING deficits. What you DO see is a significant uptick in 2008 and then an EXPLOSION in 2009!! Jeepers, what coulda been happening between 2007 and 2010? Oh, thats right....the Democrats took over both houses and the presidency, THATS WHAT HAPPENED. Republicrats wrote the budget in 2007.....the Democrats wrote the budget from 2008 and on.

The folks in Washington are so disconnected from reality and fiscal responsibilty its almost funny.
