Ok, I finally got that to load.

There's a SLIGHT problem with that chart - it's almsot a year and a half old.

The $1.5T for Obama's first year didn't turn out to be that bad now that FY 2010 is over. By the same token, the next projection was more optimistic than the latest $1.6T coming.

Remember that chart was before the December 2010 battle that resulted in extending ALL the Bush tax cuts. The CBO can only go with what they had at the time and, the way this Congress is going, you can never tell WHAT laws will be in place next week (that can affect the projections).
