The Democrats have had complete control of the House and Senate since January of 2007. Odd we all keep forgetting that.

I explained in a previous post that if you are presented with a leaky boat in the middle of the ocean, you don't fix it by drilling a dozen more holes in the bottom of the hull to let the water out.

The current deficit predictions don't even factor in new spending programs that haven't passed Congress yet.

The Democrats took power, and are doing what they always do: increase government spending, kneecap those who create the wealth, and direct the loot to political cronies and special interests. That's what's been happening in California, too. The results are obvious.

If you look at the famous chart below, which is probably worse now, you'll notice that Obama's deficits don't go away as his wonderful policies take effect. They get worse into the foreseeable future, and every last year is worse than Bush's largest annual deficit.

Somehow I doubt that if McCain and a Republican congress were presiding over these numbers, that you'd be cutting them nearly as much slack.
