REALITY CHECK, PLEASE!!

NATIONAL DEBT:

DEBT

For those suddenly concerned with the Federal Budget Deficit, Taxes, Salaries, Job Creation, &/or Economics
this page and its charts display graphically and dramatically just what Trickle-Down (AKA Voodoo) Economics
have done for America since 1980: The Federal Budget, The National Debt, Worker's Salaries & Job Creation.

The 2010 Budget includes about 1 Trillion to just pay interest on the 7.7 Trillion Republican Deficits

• U.S. Debt: $30,000 per American, so using the totals from the chart above, the Republicans ran up 7.7 Trillion, and everyone else throughout history, or call it the Democrats: 1.8 Trillion. That's a 76% to 24% ratio, so the above mentioned $30,000 per American boils down to: $22,800 for the Red Ink Party, & $7,200 for the Democrats. Obama probably will have to run up even more debt to pay for the Wars, Economic Meltdown and Bush Tax Breaks For The Wealthy, and remember, a big part of every budget is the $1 Trillion in interest on that $7.7Trillion brought to you by Reagan-Bush1&2

WAGES:

DEBT ADJUSTED FOR GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT
Debt
This Chart shows data thru Feb. 2009, so it missed the giant Bush Financial System Bailout and
subsequent bailouts to save the Financial System. But it is interesting to see the ratio of Debt to
GDP over the seven decades, especially the 120% reached in the 40's to fund WWII and bring
the country out of the "Great Depression".
