Your graph is something different. But what is the point of your trying to dismiss that graph of what is contributing to our debt? Are you contending it's wrong? The figures on that graph are the very figures being discussed this past week in the media by our Senators/Congressmen. Those figures are very public and are in the media today. You don't like the graph, you can check the CBO and get them yourself.

You posted a graph of one budget year. That's not the same as a listing of our debt over time. But I have no idea what you are trying to show by posting your budget year breakdown, and what that has to do with what is causing our debt over time. Yes, we have to cut stuff out of the yearly budgets.

Of course it is wrong. Like I said it leaves out everything not Bush. You do know the current Pres is spending $ on a war he campaigned against years ago. Where's the asterix for Bush/Obama? Where's the $2 Trillion ObamaCare cost's effect? Where's the Obama Stimulus failure?

The Iraq war was costly but less than a trillion total.

You do realize that just saying so doesn't make it so? This isn't the land of Glenn Beck here.

You are free to differ with the rest of the world, the Congress, who are using those very figures. You might note some of them all over the media regarding the Bush tax cut issue today.

No it doesn't. The wars, the different stimulus, TARP, the bailouts from Bush and Obama, the health plan, our routine costs of government, all there. Those are our projected deficits over the years, and the sources.

The cost of ObamaCare is estimated to be $2 Trillion by the CBO yet it is missing from the graph?

Obama will always say it was Bush' fault, he has failed miserably as Pres. He will say it next year it was Bush' fault. Hopefully the American public wakes up in November 2012 and realize what a farce this idiot has been. The elbow to his head wont help him find any brain cells.

Just what's needed, more random fifth-grade level, "I hate the President and I don't want to talk about specifics" crap. You haven't changed your tune since day one. I hope you at least voted in the last election.

I did exercise my privledge of voting in the recent elections. Hasnt he been saying it was Bush' fault that this country"s economy and unemployment are in shambles? What has he done to attempt to fix it? he has had over 1 1/2 to fix it. Next year when Obama doesnt have the numbers any more he will still blame the Republicans. Now there is talk about raising health insurance premiums for military retirees yet thier retirement pay will stay the same. Some president we have ruining this great country of ours.

Glad you voted. Alot has gotten "fixed", and saying otherwise is simply disingenuous. You don't have to like a current President or support him, but you have to at least acknowledge reality. Every single economist (find me one who disagrees) has said the various stimulus plans have indeed kept us from a depression. The argument is that we should have done more, which is why unemployment is languishing
