In your next update, you should consider correcting the massive, glaring error in your revenue numbers. You quote them as billions, when in fact they are TRILLIONS, which is 1000 times as much.
ReplyDeleteYour fallacious reporting makes the national debt look 1,000 times worse (as a percent of national income) than it really is. Typical conservative distortions.
I think the biggest problem with your site is sometimes it tells too much -- I think you need something simpler like an idiot graph spending vs revenue and then you click on the pie to drill down. That would help with dummies like above.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Chris. You're doing a fantabulous job.
Excellent site. A lot of great information. It would be great to provide a map from the CBO data to your data. The summary results are the same but the numbers underneath the summary end up in different places.
ReplyDeleteEveryone which comments anything negative to this site is undoubtedly naive to what I see the purpose of this website (i.e. a simpler and correctly filtered data source) might be a few decimal points or columns in a wrong area (pending what one is trying to do) yet -- this is a great site and applaud Chris for do this.
ReplyDeleteFor what its worth -- I do not consider myself a republican or democrat but simple one who likes to see the facts as one never gets directly in advertised political figures. This site is great for that.
I have just saved a snapshot of the direct revenues to the treasury so I can compare the estimated amount for 2011 to the actual amount when the numbers are available. My guess is that the actual will be far lower. I'm wondering - could you make it possible to create a chart with the estimated vs. actual for the last ten years? Just curious!
