Funny, it certainly does if you know what you are looking at... the attached is schedule 1.1 of the Budget. Note the 2008 deficit (before recession) was $.641T. The drop off in revenue caused by the recession was $.4T (from $2.5T in 2008 to $2.1T in 2009).... ok, so I have proved substantially all of my claim. Certainly its not a leap to think the core deficit (before recession and TARP and things) went from $.641T in 2008 to $.75T, as I claimed in 2009, but if you need, I can source that, even though its moot. I can also source the unemployment claim pick up from $50B in 2008 to $150B in 2009, if you need... but I have pretty much backed up my numbers. Care to back up your claim
BTW... I cited the last Clinton budget as having an under $50B deficit. It was $32B. So Bush went from $32B deficits to $1,250B deficits. Again, a legacy the Republicans can be proud of.
