New York, NY | said by JammerMan79:please see my above post for facts on his supposed spending btw.. if all he's doing is talking about changing the tax rates.. and you seem pretty sure all he's doing is talking, what's the problem? One could do that, or alternatively you could simply review the Congressional Budget Office official figures. I suggest you first read the Wall Street Journal article (below) that states:
said by Wall Street Journal :
Thanks to a 6.6% decline in revenues due to recession, a spending increase of some $500 billion or 19%, and assorted federal bailouts, the U.S. deficit for fiscal 2009 (ending September 30) will nearly triple to $1.19 trillion. That's 8.3% of GDP, which CBO says "will most likely shatter the previous post-World War II record high of 6.0 percent posted in 1983.

Following that (if you still wish to continue this argument of course), feel free to peruse the official figures posted on the government (CBO) website. The clearly show a trend (on the front page!) that will knock your socks off.
