Just saying that you FAILED when you claimed the increasing deficit was due primarily to the Recovery Act.

The biggest increases in the budget: Defense (up 13% due in large part to including Iraq/Afghanistan funding)....Social Security (up 5% - entitlement - Congress cant cut), Medicare (up 7% - entitlement - Congress cant cut).....Medicaid (up 12% due to 2+ years of increasing unemployment...you want to cut?)....oh, TARP funding (phased out)
