So many ways of looking at statistics.

Perhaps the situation is not so bad. Keeping the debt flat while fighting a war is not so bad.

<<<Defense up from 3 to 4% of GDP; Medicare and Medicaid up from 3.4% to 4.6%, partially offset by increased payments for Part B and stuff. Aside from that, there’s been no major movement.>>>

Seems quite logical that McCain is committed to make permanent those huge tax cuts to the very wealthy and the budget deficit will likely grow.

He will unlikely cut defense spending. In fact it is likely to go up.

I wonder how much we spend on food stamps?
