I am just asking you how to explain your claim that the Recovery Act was responsible for the deficit....when in fact, it represents a small percentage of the budget, depending on whether you include the social safety net programs or just the grant programs.
Feel free to review my
night class and dispute it if you believe it is incorrect.
The overwhelming contributions to the deficit increase are entitlements, the inclusion of Iraq/Afghanistan funding for the first time, and other mandatory programs.
