Republican Debt in Convenient Graph Form

Via Jon Cohn, this new graph from CBPP is an outstanding representation of what the national debt as a percentage of GDP will look like with and without the Bush tax cuts expiring.

An indefinite extension of the Bush tax cuts is, well, indefinite. It will cost $3.9 trillion in the first 10 years. And then it will cost more than that in the second 10 years.

And yet they can still look at themselves in the mirror after bitching about “generational theft?” That’s rich.

    Rock the truth, Cesca. Graphs, charts, stats, facts…Sadly, we’re running reality against the fantasy Goofy world perfection that would have obtained if Obama hadn’t wrecked everything with his Kenyan Anti-Colonial Worldview and Hatred of America…that blissful, rich, comfortable and secure life that would have obtained if we had only elected Sarah Palin.Reality may have a liberal bias, but frustration and fantasy have a conservative obsession.I feel doom coming. Bad, ugly fuck us all doom.Something wicked this way comes.
