.he ignores the fact that the growth starts from a much lower baseline. Of course. i-node very consistently lets his partisanship rule everything. Cherry picking and even cooking figures is just one aspect of it. And then he, in typical Right-wingnut fashion, accuses others of being that way.

He just reads the part of the chart that he likes...the part where revenue begins to grow again...he ignores the fact that the growth starts from a much lower baseline. If you draw a best line fit to the revenue during the clinton years and extend it out if flies above the years that follow 2005...all the revenue in between is forever lost...he ignores the inconvenient details. Well who in hell are you blaming for THAT? You are quick to blame Bush for lousy economic growth and revenue for four consecutive years. Yet, you want to ignore the huge recession GWB inherited which was capped with a massive attack against the country that happened simultaneously. A far more challenging situation than what Obama inherited. Yet, two years later, because of Bush policy, we were climbing out. I was simply pointing out that four years later, we're still in the hole on the Obama Depression, and we haven't even stopped digging yet. Talk about people seeing what they want to.
