That was the only halfway readable chart I could find googling. If you have a better one, feel free. Point is, clearly, the deficit has been going in the wrong direction for about as long as GW has been in office.

Your chart, showing a ~$415 deficit for FY2005 is clearly inaccurate by $65 billion. The deficit for FY2004 was $412 billion (according to this article (which also shows just how off the projections have been). That equates to a decrease of $62 billion from 2004 to 2005.

I'm not sure that you're claiming a decreasing Federal deficit is "going in the wrong direction" ... are you?

So far it looks like a decrease this year. The chart is intended to address the trend. The chart shows an expected lowering of the deficit (not sure why) followed by more increase. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
