Look it up!
By your own charts, receipts in 2003 were 1,780 and in 2009 they were 2,105.
So? From 2000 to 2003 receipts dropped every year and that was when Bush was cutting taxes. Receipts did not return to pre-tax amounts until 2005 and have never equaled the percentage of GDP that Clinton left.
The budget as a percentage of GDP was much smaller in the 50's and 60's and, the rates of increases in spending were nowhere near what they are today.
Ok. But then, that means that if we hold spending constant and grow our GDP then we can match that percentage and do it without cuts. Why not do that?
