In other words; 1st, reverse the Republican economic direction and wipe the slate clean. 2nd, Rebuild the foundation (middle class) of the economy (while looking after the poor). 3rd, Don’t listen to any BS coming from the Right.

That graph always blows my mind, as does #7. To look at those graphs and see how much larger the Bush era tax cuts are than even the (unpaid for) wars in Iraq and Afghanistan always blows my mind.

Digesting the data is slow sledding.
