From what I've seen in the past few years the graph looks a little better when inflation is taken into account, but not so much that the shock value is taken away.
- iamwil 18y agoYeah, sorry. I mainly did it as an exercise to find and suck down public data as a result of some bullshitting with Ian. I'm going to guess that even if it's inflation adjusted, it's still exponential growth. I'd use inflation adjusted, if it were easier to find, but historical debt outstanding is what I found first. Even then, it was interesting seeing how it matched up with the senate majority and how it compared to the past. I find myself wanting to see these graphs when I read some article in the papers, or someone goes on ranting about economics or politics. Does anyone else have these inclinations?
