    A. that says everything past 2010 on that chart is an estimate ... from 2009 I would assume?

    so that's not quite factual

    B. that chart only has the last few years, but I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't the highs still, but I'm just not positive...

    I'll see if I can find something a little more... concrete

    EDIT: I was looking around on that website and it seems to have some more recent numbers, but 2007 (2.6 tril) is ahead of 2012 (2.5 tril) , which is the numbers that we know for sure... I think it is expected that 2013 will do better (2.7 tril), but it's not over yet...

    This always happens under Tax and Spend Democrats. This current regime just loves to throw money away on useless projects that have been tried in the past and has already been proved to be failures. Stop wasting borrowed money on failed ventures.

    No where near the most when compared as a % of the GDP:

    Clinton years were better.

    Edit: Looking at numbers in a vacuum is a terrible way to make choices for a economy.

    The Gov. has a Spending problem not an Income problem.....

    Source(s): -but seriously: The U.S of A. has LOST 9-Million Jobs under the Obama regime. The economy is still contracting.

    I did not... but that would explain my paychecks. Raising minimum wage means they get more money >.<

    I always try to make this point to liberals that think raising taxes would solve anything.
