Hey pete, I will admit, even as someone who supports Obama, and finds the GOP misrepresentation of the debt ceiling debate (and history in general) completely unconscionable, the primary purpose for this graphic is a political one. How can you tell? The primary foci are the red and blue blocks. I.E. who's responsible for what portion of the debt. The rest of the graphic is extraneous detail. There are a pile of more interesting graphics, some of which you can find here: http://www.businessinsider.com/republican-budget-hypocrisy-2011-7 http://www.businessinsider.com/republican-budget-hypocrisy-2... and http://flowingdata.com/2011/07/26/how-the-deficit-got-so-big/ http://flowingdata.com/2011/07/26/how-the-deficit-got-so-big...
