Just wanted to put into perspective what the failure of trickle-down Reagan-era type economics is now costing us



You are aware, right?, that Obama's planned deficit for *this year alone* is greater than the deficit Reagan ran up in *all eight years combined*?

Even Bush jr. looks fiscally responsible by comparison: Obama's planned deficit for *next year alone* will be about the same as Bush jr's the deficit from his *first seven years combined*, and likely all eight years since Obama's revenue assumptions are based on 2006, i.e., he assumes the recession never happened.

Obama's *plans* will increase the deficit 50% before he leaves office. That's not something being forced on him by circumstance.

It simply doesn't work any more to try to paint Republicans in a bad light economically. There just isn't way to look at Obama's budget and find any Republican (or Democratic) budget it looks good against.

(Obama's budget is neither supply-side nor demand-side: it's a subprime-side budget)
