Since it’s been asked: the below is why we fight, and must continue to fight. [UPDATE: NEW GRAPHIC!]
I could try to pad this out, but if this graph doesn’t freak you out already then I cannot for the life of me think of what will move you further.

saw a different graph that I hadn’t seen before here:

That really shows the problem – if we freeze spending at current levels today, tax revenues won’t catch up to those levels for probably 40-50 years.
So continued deficit spending is either ignorant or intentional. If intentional, can one imply that liberals really want to destroy America as we know it?
What we really need here also is a graph of the national debt, which is a much scarier curve. The point is that the delta (this curve) remains entirely negative, and it’s the consequent continuing increase in the debt with no end in sight that soon will bring down the hammer of the international finance markets.
