Dear Deficit Commission,

It's not hard to figure out why we have a huge deficit. It's so easy I don't have to use words. Here are some pictures:

Clinton_Bush_Deficit

Bill Clinton raised taxes on the rich. Bush cut them.

Now, about that huge national debt...

TopRates_vs_Debt_Chart

The second chart kind of explains itself. The third chart can help you find a place to get some money:

Defense-Budget

(Note: There is no more Soviet Union.)

In case that isn't clear enough, try this:

Let me know if you still have any questions. (4 images)

Here's the problem with actually cutting spending:

The blue line reports the results of an Economist/YouGov poll asking people "If government spending is reduced in order to balance the budget, which of the following government programs should receive lower federal funding than they currently do?" The red line is the percentage of the budget these programs actually account for.

Being a Republican means you get to choose your own reality.

Any site pretending Clinton produced a budget surplus can't be taken seriously.

He moved Social Security, thats all. Wish I could do that in my company...

Ping me when any Republican/Conservative/Tea Partier other than Ron Paul actually proposes significant cuts to the federal budget.

Right now all we have is Rep. Ryan's blueprint which balances the budget by 2080 by raising taxes on most Americans.

Being a Republican means you get to choose your own reality.
