Bush Tax Cuts and the Deficit ☀
Come the fuck on. You don’t have 5 years on that chart with anything approximating accuracy, to say nothing of 40. You can scale out theoretical costs and income levels a very short distance, and even then CBO estimates are traditionally way off. They aren’t right within 6 months.

Typically, I loathe any touted projections for a period >1 year. It is absolutely ridiculous that such “predictions” are granted any shred of authenticity or accuracy.
But I did want to make note of Ezra’s post, though I think that better addressed would be those tax cuts and the impact to the deficit accumulated during the last presidential term. That, and the numbskull act of a self proclaimed “war president” cutting taxes while the nation was (and is?) “at war”.
And I needed an image to break up a long stream of text posts. :)
