That waterfall

Michael Pollaro says: “A $2.5 trillion deficit will create quite a waterfall on this graph, don’t you think?”

Here is the waterfall-deficit graph (with an attitude). I created it when the projected red ink was “only” $1.6 trillion, after which Obama was to cut it in half by the end of his first term.

What is the Mises Institute?

The Mises Institute is a non-profit organization that exists to promote teaching and research in the Austrian School of economics, individual freedom, honest history, and international peace, in the tradition of Ludwig von Mises and Murray N. Rothbard. 

Non-political, non-partisan, and non-PC, we advocate a radical shift in the intellectual climate, away from statism and toward a private property order. We believe that our foundational ideas are of permanent value, and oppose all efforts at compromise, sellout, and amalgamation of these ideas with fashionable political, cultural, and social doctrines inimical to their spirit.
