Re: Re: Re: Re: revenues
You yourself just pointed out in an earlier post that revenues are down about $500B in 2009 from 2007 levels. That may not be the primary factor but don't you think that's pretty damn significant? We are also in the process of trying to stimulate a deep recession, as we and other nations have done successfully every recession since the end of WWII. Factor out the stimulus, the TARP, and the revenue drop and there you have your deficit increase.
