Historical Deficits, a Comparison

As I was at a local fair, I decided to stop in at a Democratic Party booth and talk about healthcare, the ballooning deficit, and the future of America. I asked the representative if he had any concern about the massive amounts of debt we are amassing, and he spoke of former President Bush's deficits and the record amounts he spent in his terms in office. I made a comment abot how Obama's deficit is far greater than Bush's ever was, and he had no comment. Here is a simple bar graph showing the differences. Note that the highest deficit that Bush had was still lower than the lowest estimate the Obama administration projects over the next 10 years.
