The other side of Bush's record deficit

2007 - Revenue - 2,568,200,000,000
2008 - Revenue - 2,524,000,000,000
2009 - Revenue - 2,186,000,000,000
2010 - Revenue - 2,263,000,000,000

Our economic and fiscal mess is not all about the spending. If your revenue plunged 15% and you spent like George W. Bush you'd have record deficits too.

If revenue had went up a mere 3% over 2008 and 2009 it would now be $538 billion higher than 2009's projected $2.186, to $2.724 trillion. Instead, because of the Bush Recession, it's down $382 billion from 2007.

And, by the way, for the liars and Chickenshit (that's redundant), Bush's original 2009 budget had $3.1 trillion in spending, which didn't include his $700 billion Wall Street bailout, or the $200 billion he hid 'off-budget' for Iraq and Afghanistan.

So get out your calculator, girly-boy. Let's see, that's $3.1 trillion, + $700 billion, + $200 billion, which comes to a nice, round, $4 trillion. That's all Bush spending.

With revenue projected at $2.186 trillion, what does that give you for a deficit? I know, you're not only a chickenshit; you're incompetent too, so I'll help you out. That gives us the $1,814,000,000,000 George W. Bush record smashing, quadrupled 2009 deficit.

You're welcome, hypocrite. I also know this is way over your head so just look at the cartoons (below).
