I still can’t figure out why the annual deficits are FOUR times what they were just three years ago. Someone please explain to me how the deficit went from $400 Billion to $1.6 Trillion in less than three years.

I’m standing in that same line. I’m really wondering how the hell we got here so fast, especially when our projected revenue levels for this year will about equal 2006.

I can do that in nine letters, or possibly five.

3 words: Obama, pelosi, reid.

we increased spending from $2.6 trillion to $3.7 trillion in 3 years.

[PghBaldy]

Some of it is due to the safety net, but obviously that isn’t all of it. Obama and the Dems just increased spending willy nilly, it appears.

[MontaniSemperLiberi]

From 2008 to 2010, the tanking economy cost us about $490B in revenue. Legislative changes (tax cuts and spending) cost us about $509B.

Nobody in the MSM™ will ask the question, let alone find out the answer. Face it FedGov™ has learned how to hide data just like FedRes™ has been doing for 100 years.
