Anyone still interested in the facts can go look at Obama's historical budget numbers, in this PDF document.

Go to Table 1.3, which is page 30 of the PDF document, but labeled as page 26 on the page itself. Work with the constant dollar columns, so different times can be properly compared. Look at the revenue numbers for different administrations. Look at the trends, and compare different points and different years. Draw your own conclusions as to whether or not or problem is "insufficient revenue" or just too damn much government growth. It's easier if you print out the two pages and mark things out. Careful not to print the whole document.

By the way, anyone trying to blame tax cuts for the current job situation is pulling the wool over your eyes. There is no relation between Bush's tax cuts and the mortgage collapse that caused the recession.

Nancy Pelosi lies about this too, and how tax cuts don't create jobs because Obama's "created" more jobs than Bush. In the process, the concept of "net jobs" is invented, same as the concept of "saved jobs" was invented.

Here's the actual graph:

Pelosi picks two endpoints off this chart and pretends there's nothing in the middle. And takes it for granted her target audience will swallow it whole. It's like having someone build a thousand houses on the coast, and having them blown away by a hurricane. Someone else comes in after the storm and builds fifty houses, and then claims he's obviously better at building houses than the other guy, since he doesn't see any of the other guy's houses around.

Would it be bad form to also point out that Obama's jobs were "created" under the exact same tax laws as Bush's?

Oh, that 132,530 in February of 2001, at the very far left of that graph? That was the peak employment number of the 90s.
