No need to click on this – unless you meet a doofus who tells you that the deficit skyrocketed under Obama. (Scroll halfway down to the two long columns and look at the green column on the right.)
And for a more detailed look at who is most responsible for the deficit, take a look at “The Chart That Should Accompany All Discussions of the Debt Ceiling.”
Please don’t try and sound intelligent about the current economic mess until you take a good look at these two articles.
Sanity First! 
LOL.. and we’re supposed to believe the charts put out by a Liberal newspaper….give me a break
How sad. No effort to confront facts with other facts, just cry-baby slander. Sorry you feel you can’t trust the charts put out by what most of the world considers the best newspaper in the world (and they cite their sources for the charts). If you think the Times can afford to deliberately misstate facts, you are clueless as to how major newspapers in America operate.
