Obama cuts deficit despite bad economy. NOT a deficit thread.

[charrison]

Yep- Reagan and GHWB deficits are the new normal, as are inflated GDP numbers from the Bush years.

Notice any trend in that graph, like the downward trend during the Clinton years? Couldn't be!

Note a more interesting trend, deficits rise during a recession and decrease as the economy improves regardless of who is in power. If clinton had stayed in in office for a 3rd term and suffered the dot com bust, the deficits would still have been there.

But continue to look at things with your partisan blinders on.
