    This is a wonderful post. It really begs the question, “What is the Obama administration doing proposing to cut revenues below the Bush Baseline?”

    The baseline scenario makes several unrealistic assumptions that make the baseline projections unrealistic small. They include the assumption that the Bush tax cuts
    will expire and nothing will be done to eliminate the Alternative minimum Tax.

    Consequently it is an extremely biased projection.

    Can you chart the difference to see how “now” compares to the past? Charted with recessions?

    This graph is FALSE. Don’t you remember that President Bush kept the cost of his two wars “off budget?”

    While Obama is attempting to be honest and include everything – this was never done during the Bush years.
