Obama's Deficits


I have to admit, I liked it better when I could say that Republicans are just as bad on deficit spending as Democrats, but it looks like Obama is going to beat Bush, if this graphic from FOXNews.com can be believed.
I suspect the Iraq spending is underestimated, and we should probably think about total "defense" spending -- or, rather, "nation-building" spending around the world -- and not just spending against Iraq.
Still, the two big bars are pretty compelling.
