Re: Obama V: For Vendetta
If you're going to compare Bush deficits to Obama (projected) deficits, then you should either exclude unfunded entitlements from both or include them in both. The article included them in the Bush numbers but not in Obama's. That's not an accurate comparison. If the article had included unfunded entitlement projections in Obama's numbers, I suspect the final number would have been approaching 100 trillion, maybe more.You can't have it both ways. If you're going to give Bush a break by not counting inherited policies and entitlement growth and downsized revenue caused by the recession, then that pretty much zeroes out Obama's $9T.
