Do you even read the articles you post or do you just look for pretty graphs that look like they say what you want them to? Plotting spending as a percentage of GDP doesn't tell you anything about actual spending increases or decreases. It only tells you what spending does as a function of GDP. That's your intro to high school algebra lesson for the day.

As you can clearly see from the actual numbers, spending has increased every single year, and more than doubled since 2000.

The only years since 1963 that saw an actual decrease in spending are which are long before this attempt to redefine cuts as a decrease in the rate of spending increase. Absofuckinglutely ridiculous.
