And if we do nothing it won't go over 10%? Also, cutting taxes DOES NOT RAISE THE DEFICIT IMBECILE. Look at when Bush did it, Reagan did it and JFK did it. Lower taxes spur investment, which expands business, which lowers unemploymnet which increases payroll taxes etc. As for that bad economy remember when evil George Bush had unemployment at a terrible 4.5%? Probably not because the rags you read never repoted it. This recession started when your idiot liberals like lollipop Barney Frank and Chris Dodd and such ilk decided that everyone should own a home and shouldn't have to worry about a little thing like having to pay for it. Just another example of the government getting ionvolved in private enterprise. Oh and one more thing, maybe you google as I did The New York Times (not exactly a conservative newspaper) and read the article about Bush warning of the trouble brewing with Fannie and Freddy. As for irreleance take your head out of your rectum and breathe some fresh air.

Sorry man, but your numbers are wrong. The correct Bush deficit was 1.6 Trillion. Where do you find these numbers? Here is a tip, never believe a politician or a media personality, liberal or conservative. Remember, they make a living telling you what THEY THINK you want to hear.

Under Obama’s budget, the national debt will increase by more in two years than it did under President Bush in eight years. Obama’s spending will reach 24.5 percent of GDP, far higher than the post-war average of about 20.2 percent.
