- refurb 8y agoThe deficit is far lower than 2009-2012.[1] I love American politics where if your own party does something, you praise it, but if the other part does the same thing, you demonize it.

- zimablue 8y agoYou're comparing it to the middle of an enormous economic crash, and even then relying on an estimate of 4% which is high outside of an economic crisis/recession. Let's wait until the tax cuts have kicked in for a couple of years and then count it, but even by the estimates on the link you provided it's spending as if you're in an economic meltdown when you're not, and high by historical standards.
