He's back.......with CHARTS!!

Looks pretty straightforward and more fact based than politically based.

I thought the presentation below was fairly well done and informative.

That is excellent!

I hope that series remains on that site, for reference. I fully expect some to use that presentation selectively as fodder for their views on particular administrations, but the presentations do not reflect the true states of the economies, should changes not have been enacted.

Example: The late nineties budget surpluses. This has been used to show that the Clinton Administration with the Republican fiscal conservative congress produced what we all want. True.. and False. Dont forget that a large part of the economy at that point in time was based on speculative gross product...i.e; the Internet Boom which fueled huge growth in the IT and Commercial Real Estate sectors. In the end much of the 'Product' was vaporware, much of the taxable income based on jobs which were a result of that boom.


The conclusions I draw are simple:

1. We cannot tax ourselves out of deficit.

2. The proposals for a National Health plan must be very carefully considered in the light of what we can see as a result of current limited programs.

3. Attempts to curb the mandatory Health and Retirement spending growth suffer the inevitable backlash from the 'entitled', who object to any change which might reduce their expected standards of support.

 

Thanks for posting that FulhamAg. Thank god Perot wasnt presenting the charts!

 

Are you sure? Or is it you miss Dana Carvey doing 'Perot' on SNL?

Methinks the latter, I know I do.

 

Memory refresher. And yeah, he squeaked.
