Adding to the deficit: Bush vs. Obama

Since President Obama became chief executive, the national debt has risen almost $5 trillion. But how much of that was because of policies passed by Obama, and how much was caused by the ?nancial crisis, the continuation of past policies and other effects? For this analysis, we worked with the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities to attach a price tag to the legislation passed by Obama and his predecessor. George W. Bush’s major policies increased the debt by more than $5 trillion during his presidency. Obama has increased the debt by less than $1 trillion.

THE TRUTH ABOUT TAXES: Here's How High Today's Rates Really Are .. bits ..

Let's begin with a look at the top income tax bracket since the federal income tax
was started in 1913. As you can see, relative to history, it's currently VERY low.



And before you protest that INCOME taxes may be low, but the government is now gouging us a thousand
new ways, note that total government tax revenue (federal, state, and local) is actually now lower than
pretty much any time in the last 40 years. (Not as low as it was in the first half of the last century, though!)
