Reality check, the last republican passed budget (FY 2007) was $167 billion. THEN, the progressive communist democrats got control, TOTAL control.
2008- $455 billion deficit
2009- $1,400 billion deficit
2010- $1,300 billion deficit
2011- $1,650 billion deficit (estimate)
Democrat TOTAL - $4,805 billion deficit
Curiously, during those years the progressive communist democrats increased the federal government spending by $3,300 billion. SO it is not a revenu...TAXING PROBLEM but one of spending like drunk sailors on meth.
