>> But can you point out a period of time where there has been a faster (percentage-wise or raw dollar) improvement in the deficit over the past 40 years or so???????????? No, and I can't point out a period of time when there was such a rapid RISE in deficits, either. It was a sharp spike that, looking at economic history, you would expect to return to the prior level pretty quickly. Not over five or six years. (Historically, recessions that are sharp drops are following by quick recoveries. That didn't happen here because of incompetent fiscal policy).
